Boston amputee to run Marathon 2015

A woman injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing who had several surgeries before having part of her leg amputated recently was discharged from a rehab facility over the weekend and has vowed to run the race next year.

Rebekah DiMartino, 27, said she looks forward to getting her stitches out in early December and being fitted for a prosthetic left leg.

“The prognosis is great. I chopped off what was holding me back,” DiMartino said. “The prognosis, is you’ll see me running the Boston Marathon next year.”
