Making a Difference In The Lives of Amputees
BOSTON STRONG:
OVER A DECADE OF HOPE
Welcome to A Leg Forever Charitable Foundation, where every step makes a difference. Founded by mother Elizabeth Norden in honor of her two sons who lost their legs in the Boston Marathon bombings, this foundation is built on
the kindness and support that changed their lives. On 04/15/2013, tragedy struck with devastating force, leaving two hundred and sixty four injured and sixteen individuals without limbs. Liz's sons,
JP and Paul, faced the unimaginable loss of their right legs. Yet, amidst their grief, they experienced an incredible outpouring of love and generosity from around the world.
This support provided them with access to life changing prosthetic limbs through public donations and the
one fund. Inspired by this compassion, Liz and her family established a nonprofit, A Leg Forever Charitable Foundation. Their mission is clear, to pay forward the help they received by assisting other amputees on their journey to recovery. Prosthetic limbs are not just devices. They are keys to independence and a better quality
of life.
But their cost ranging from $50,000 to $140,000 every few years often poses a significant barrier. Many amputees struggle to afford these vital tools as health insurance coverage can fall short. That's where you come in. Your support enables A Leg Forever to bridge this gap, ensuring that all amputees have access to the care and resources they deserve. Join us in making a difference.

A Leg Forever Charitable Foundation.
We are forever grateful for all the love, generosity, and support that was shown to my Boys and Family! To see it continue on with A Leg Forever is humbling, touching, and amazing! Not enough words to say THANK YOU!
