BOSTON — A professional ballroom dancer who lost a leg in the Boston Marathon bombings says she’s training to run this year’s race: all 26.2 miles of it.

Adrianne Haslet-Davis said Wednesday she'll run to help raise money and awareness for Limbs for Life, an Oklahoma City-based organization that provides prostheses to low-income amputees who can’t afford an artificial limb.

Haslet-Davis, 35, lost her left leg below the knee in the April 2013 attacks, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.
