His last post, on February 12, linked to an Instagram image of himself with a young boy on prosthetic limbs with the message, "In the run up to the launch of my foundation in July I will give at least 10 kids mobility!"
It was the brutal images of those who had lost limbs from the Boston Marathon bombing being carried from the scene that resonated deep within my heart -- for I knew, I knew what life is without legs, I knew what they would face in the coming days, weeks, months and years.
