Jeremy Renner is a \u201cwalking\u201d miracle. The \u201cHawkeye\u201d star recently sprinted up his driveway for a Brooks running shoe campaign after almost losing his life last year in a snowplow accident. In an interview with People,<\/em> Renner explained, \u201cI was barely walking, so I didn\u2019t know what these shoes were going to do for me.\u201d The actor shared how he took small steps during his recovery and saw improvement over time.<\/p>\n

Renner said, \u201cWhen I really got to use them was one day after a workout, maybe 10 months into the recovery. I was feeling really great and strong, and I felt pretty good about trying to move around in these things and see if I could do it. I said, \u2018I\u2019m going to try to sprint up this thing, and I did.\u2019\u2019 He shared how victorious the moment was for him. He said, \u201cFor me, it meant so much because to go from a wheelchair and limping around with the cane and [being] told you\u2019re never going to walk right again and you\u2019re never going to run again, it was pretty hopeful for me. It gave me an ally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor shared the importance of holding onto hope. \u201cYou got something on your side. When you get hope, hope is a powerful ally. A lot of things help us build hope, and progress helps us build hope. That\u2019s the easy one,\u201d he\u00a0added<\/a>. \u201cFailures don\u2019t feel like they do, but they also really fuel hope because you could get progress out of failures. You can\u2019t really keep progressing without failing. You got to have both. You have to fail to succeed.\u201d Renner suffered 30 broken bones after being run over by a snowplow. He was attempting to help his nephew get a stuck vehicle out of the snow, but the 14,300 machine ran him over.<\/p>\n
