Boston Marathon Explosion Victim, Amputee To Appear On 'Dancing With The Stars' 2013 Week 7 (VIDEO)
A dance instructor who was one of the many injured that suffered an amputation from the Boston Marathon bombings will appear on an upcoming episode of Dancing With The Stars.
Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a professional ballroom instructor lost her left foot in the twin explosions, will be featured on Week 7 of ABC's hit dance competition. DWTS host Tom Bergeron revealed the news during Week 6.
"We were all very moved by her inspirational outlook," Bergeron said of the professional dancer. "We'll tell you how we hope to be part of her recovery."
"Dancing is my life," Haslet-Davis told the Boston Herald. "Yeah, having my foot blown off, that really sucks. But I can't wallow in woe is me."
DWTS dance partner Derek Hough told the Boston newspaper that he would love to team up with Haslet-Davis, a professional dance instructor.
"It's hard for anyone to really quite understand what she must be going through and what she's going to go through with rehab and getting her balance back," Hough said. "But if she has the determination and she has the passion - and it sounds like she does - she's going to run that marathon and she's going to be dancing again. It's not going to slow her down."
