Meet the Boston Marathoner Who Inspires Tom Brady

Published on April 18, 2016 at 2:01 PM

It's probably no surprise that Tom Brady is a fan of the Boston Marathon — the course runs right near his house in Brookline, after all. On Monday, the New England Patriots quarterback posted a touching tribute to runner Adrianne Haslet-Davis.

Brady called Adrianne his inspiration, and it's easy to see why he feels this way. Adrianne is one of 17 individuals who lost a limb during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and has since gone on to prove that the loss of a leg is not a setback. Today was yet another example of Adrianne's courage and perseverance; wearing a prosthetic blade, she's running all 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon.
