Boston marathon bomb victim Jane ‘an incredible inspiration’

Jane Richard beams as she shows off her skill at mastering her prosthetic leg, four months after losing her big brother on the sidelines of the Boston Marathon.

The seven-year-old and her family were watching the race when two bombs exploded near the finish line in April. Her brother, Martin, 8, was one of three people killed in the terrorist attack. Jane’s mother, Denise, was also gravely injured.

Jane spent months in hospitals and has learned to walk — and even dance — with her prosthetic leg, her family says. Yet their delight at Jane’s recovery is overshadowed by grief at Martin’s death.
