A mum who lost her leg in the Boston Marathon which led her to endure 76 gruelling surgeries, continues to lead a positive and upbeat life, and has even named her new prosthetic leg Felicia. In a 'full circle' moment, she will attend this year's Boston Marathon with her children as she watches her husband run the race.
Rebekah Gregory, 35, was standing less than a metre away from a bomb when it went off during the April 2013 race. The mum-of-two was spectating with son, Noah, then five, sitting at her feet after he got bored - but says his position "saved his life” and he got just a few cuts.
Rebekah spent over a year on bed rest. She underwent 27 surgeries before her leg was amputated in November 2014.
