Celeste Corcoran was one of the many innocent bystanders cheering on runners as they crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. Celeste, her daughter Sydney, and her husband Kevin were watching the race when the first bomb made from a pressure cooker exploded. The entire bombing and attack ended with three fatalities and an estimated 264 injuries. Celeste and Sydney were two of them.

Sydney and her mother share a hug before Sydney is discharged from the hospital. According to The Boston Globe, “Celeste lost both legs in the first bombing. Sydney’s femoral artery was severed from a piece of pressure-cooker shrapnel, and she nearly died from blood loss. Celeste, her husband, Kevin, and Sydney were standing on the sidewalk of Boylston Street near the finish line to root for Celeste’s sister, Carmen, who was running the Marathon.”
