In this Monday, Feb 13, 2017 photo, prosthetist David Rotter, left, of Scheck & Siress, coaches Vidal Lopez before he takes a walk down the hallway in his new prosthetic legs at the University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital, in the Near West Side neighborhood. Heather Abbott, a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing and founder of The Heather Abbott Foundation, teamed up with Scheck & Siress, a Chicago based prosthetic firm to provide Lopez with new customizable prosthetic legs. Vidal was born in Chicago but grew up in Mexico. A car crash involving a tractor trailer in July 2016, left him without his legs. He wrote to the Heather Abbott Foundation with hopes to receive a grant to help him pay for the prosthetic legs that he needed. Heather was touched by his story and decided to provide Vidal with the financial support he needed to secure his future. (Alyssa Pointer/Chicago Tribune via AP)
