A dance instructor who lost part of her leg in the deadly bomb attacks at the Boston Marathon has vowed to dance again - and run in next year's event.
Doctors were unable to save Adrianne Haslet-Davis' left foot after she was hit by the second bomb as she watched the race last week, and they amputated her leg five inches below the knee.
Despite the life-changing surgery, the 32-year-old said she is not giving up on her passion.
'When I'm dancing, I don't feel the need to be doing anything else. My joy is complete,' she told the Boston Herald.
'I can't let some[one] come along and steal my whole life. So, I'll dance again. And next year, though I've never been a runner, yes, I plan to run the marathon.'
After they were hit by the explosion, her husband, Air Force Capt. Adam Davis (pictured),
used a
tourniquet to help the bleeding. He suffered shrapnel wounds to his body but is also recovering.
