Now, at the age of 29, Salum holds the world record for the T12 100m event with a time of 10.43s. Determined to better the lives of those in his home country, Salum donates the money he wins through competitions to schools in Congo.\\nBorn in Goma, Congo, Salum Kashafali fled to Norway in 2003 because of the civil war. At the age of 17, Salum found a love for athletics and started to make his mark on the sporting world at a national level. After being diagnosed with Stargardt disease (a loss of central vision) at the age of 23, Salum struggled to find purpose in continuing to train as a professional athlete. Determined to never give up, he is the fastest male 100m T12 athlete of all time, holding the world record.

Je ne voulais pas \u00eatre un athl\u00e8te. Je ne voulais pas faire d'athl\u00e9tisme du tout. Je ne me voyais plus faire de l'athl\u00e9tisme. Pendant un an, je me suis dit que j'allais revenir \u00e0 l'essentiel, enseigner ou trouver d'autres choses \u00e0 faire dans la vie. Je suis revenue \u00e0 l'athl\u00e9tisme parce que j'ai r\u00e9alis\u00e9 un jour que je pouvais encore pratiquer un sport et \u00eatre aussi bonne que possible. Je ne voulais pas arr\u00eater ma vie parce qu'il m'\u00e9tait arriv\u00e9 quelque chose. Je ne voulais pas que cela contr\u00f4le ma vie. Je veux contr\u00f4ler ma vie. Je ne veux pas \u00eatre contr\u00f4l\u00e9e par ce qui m'est arriv\u00e9. Je voulais donc revenir au sport et essayer de montrer \u00e0 tout le monde que le handicap est une capacit\u00e9. Les gens m'ont dit que je ne pourrais plus jamais courir. Vous ne pourrez jamais participer \u00e0 un championnat, vous ne pourrez pas faire ceci ou cela.

L\u00e0 d'o\u00f9 je viens, on construisait plus de prisons que d'\u00e9coles. Il \u00e9tait vraiment difficile de grandir dans cet endroit. Je me suis donc promis, en arrivant en Norv\u00e8ge, que si je trouvais un emploi, je trouverais de l'argent et j'essaierais d'en donner le plus possible. Je suis donc devenu un athl\u00e8te. La premi\u00e8re chose que j'ai dite, c'est que d\u00e8s que j'aurais un salaire, j'en ferais don. Et j'ai commenc\u00e9 par construire des \u00e9coles pour que les gens puissent grandir avec la mentalit\u00e9 suivante : plus on apprend, plus on gagne. On peut avoir de beaux v\u00eatements, de belles chaussures, beaucoup de belles choses. Mais si vous n'avez pas d'\u00e9ducation, si vous n'avez pas un esprit sain, vous n'arriverez \u00e0 rien.

So I promised myself when I came to Norway, if I ever got a job, I would get the money and try to donate as much as I can. So, I became an athlete. The first thing I said was the first paycheck I will get, I will donate it. And I started there, to build schools so people can grow with the mentality the more we learn, the more we earn. You can have nice clothes, you can have nice shoes, you can have a lot of nice stuff. But if you don\u2019t have education, if you don\u2019t have a healthy mind, you are not going to get anywhere.

So I promised myself when I came to Norway, if I ever got a job, I would get the money and try to donate as much as I can. So, I became an athlete. The first thing I said was the first paycheck I will get, I will donate it. And I started there, to build schools so people can grow with the mentality the more we learn, the more we earn. You can have nice clothes, you can have nice shoes, you can have a lot of nice stuff. But if you don\u2019t have education, if you don\u2019t have a healthy mind, you are not going to get anywhere.
