Amputees, Boston Marathon Survivor, Learn To Run At Clinic

BOSTON (CBS) -- More than 50 local amputees, including a Boston Marathon bombing survivor, practiced walking and running again at Harvard University on Sunday.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation event, sponsored by Ossur, helped both new and experienced amputees work on proper running form and techniques with drills and exercises.

Attendees included Heather Abbott, who lost her leg below the knee in the Boston Marathon bombings and Sarah Reinertsen, the first woman to finish the Hawaii Ironman on a prosthetic leg.
