Rebekah Gregory | Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor // INTERVIEW

Rebekah and her son were spectating at the finish line of the Boston in Marathon in 2013 when those two fateful bombs exploded. She may have lost part of her leg- but 68 operations later, she has gained a whole new insight on “counting her blessings, not her problems.” Instead of being defined by this one event she has used it as a catalyst to make PTSD training available for children all over the country through her foundation Rebekah’s Angels. She says very few have to deal with a bomb exploding near them, but many people deal with things in their life blowing up everyday- her resilience is marked by her joyful determination to inspire others and help them get the treatments they need.

LESSONS
Count your blessings not your problems
Be thankful for the life you have and have goals for the life you want
Don’t let your life be defined by one event
Your circumstances don’t define you
Make everyday a great day- don’t let anything steal your joy
