Helping Boston stay strong: ?We Will Finish the Race?



>>> visa signature. your idea of what a card should be. is it.

>>> the two explosions that ripped into the city's iconic event, bringing people together to give comfort to each other in the hour of need. and a makeshift memorial in a sign of solidarity. this week, a marine who lost both legs in combat visited a hospital to inspire a mother and daughter. who never imagined how their lives would change. they both suffered serious injuries. celeste lost both legs.

>> i can't do anything right now.

>> right now, yes. but i'm telling you, with all my heart that you are going to be more independent than you ever were. this is basically the start. this is the new beginning for the both of you. and so many opportunities is going to come your way.

>> you look good. you look real good.

>> thank you.

>> this doesn't matter. this is just a change of scenery. it really is.

>> i know.

>> he's moving, running, doing the paralympics.

>> really?

>> you may want to do that one day.

>> the start of a new beginning. the marines help show both women the possibilities ahead. another victim, heather abbott found hope in a bedside visit from someone she did not know.

>> if someone had told me that i was going to have half a leg at the age of 38 before this happened, i think i would have never believed it. i think i would have been devastated and i really haven't had a moment yet of being devastated because i've gotten so much support from the hospital. i mean, the hospital's brought in individuals who are in the same situation as i am, they live normal lives, they were able to tell me about that, which has been great.

>> we've heard so many inspiring stories this week. including the story victoria who suffered life-altering injuries. she left the hospital this week. she's already on the road to recovery and ready to get back to normal life .

>> i want to go and have a home-cooked meal. i want to see my pets. i want to sleep in my own bed.

>> earlier this week, victoria had an emotional reunion with the stain injuries who risked their lives to save hers.

>> thanks for seeing us.

>> thank you.

>> they saved my life. you saved my life. otherwise, i would have bled out because it hit the artery.

>> wow.

>> boston reminds us of the greatest parts of the american story, that no matter what happened, whatever the crisis, whatever adversity, get up, stand up, finish the race. we've come too far to turn around now. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton t "hardball" starts right now.
