Boston Marathon Survivor Rebekah DiMartino To Have Leg Amputated

After 17 operations aimed at trying to save the left leg of Rebekah DiMartino, a mom severely injured in the Boston Marathon bombing more than 18 months ago, surgeons will remove the lower part of the limb on Monday in a procedure that she says will be a "new beginning" in her life. DiMartino was with her son, Noah, and then-boyfriend, Pete DiMartino, at the finish line of the city's iconic road race when the blasts went off on April 15, 2013. They were all wounded in the attack, but Rebekah's injuries were the most serious, with doctors opting to try and salvage her limb. She will join at least 16 other survivors of the attack who had amputations because of the blasts.
