2013 Bombing Victim Starts Boston Marathon

Using a blade in place of her leg and an unfathomable amount of determination — she’s not a long distance runner by trade — Adrianne Haslet is currently running the Boston Marathon. Yep, that’s the same race where a pressure cooker bomb irrevocably changed the lives of 17 people on Boylston Street just three years ago.

One leg, sock, and shoe; check. Start time; 8:50. Bib number; 28487. Adrenaline; top speed. Heart; bursting with love. Charity goal; reached and rising still. Vibe; chill. Time to read and rest, then RUN. Here's to every runner, may your hearts feel the love us survivors have felt, ten fold, on the course and onward.
