DEAR WORLD :. Boston Marathon is a very moving tribute Photo survivors and responders returning to the finish line. See the short video below. We opened this post with Heather Abbott portrait of this series. She chose the message "Less Leg, More Heart" and explains why:
"... since I lost my leg in the Boston Marathon, I became what the world views and certainly America considers a person handicap. And this is a very new concept for me after being a healthy woman in her thirties before the marathon. I have a new appreciation for people who are considered disabled and a new compassion for them and the struggles they go through. I think the experience of losing my leg made me become more compassionate, so I can have less of a leg, but I think my heart is bigger because of it. "

Hug a First Responder today
last year, three people died and 16 lost limbs. Total deaths could have been much worse if it were not the courage and bravery of the first responders, including many still grappling with the events: First responders still plagued by the horror of Marathon. While the first human reaction to danger is to run away, our first responders run toward it to save lives. Nothing illustrated the difference they make as their bravery in the bombing of Boston. Hug a first speaker today!
