Roosevelt fought a lot of health problems.In 1921 Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio. Polio is a horrible disease that some people get. But after the age of 39 he couldn't walk. After all of that hard work Roosevelt walk a few steps with crutches or by leaning on other people. In 1924 Roosevelt visited Warm Springs Georgia to have treatment on his polio.
