John Dodge at CBS Chicago:
Run Jude, Run!
It was an amazing sight because Jude Hill lost his feet after a lawnmower accident two years ago. ...
Now, he has new high-tech blade feet thanks to Heather Abbott, a Boston woman who lost her leg in the marathon bombing.
The blade feet are made of carbon fiber and the struts are designed for heavy impact.
“Jude’s running blades were designed for his weight class. I made the sockets. When he gets older, and bigger, he’ll need new ones,” said David Rotter, Clinical Director of Prosthetics, Scheck & Siress, which works with the University of Chicago Hospital. ...
“He put them on and he started running. It was pretty amazing,” laughed Rotter.
His parents: “You almost forget he doesn’t have feet, he’s doing so well.”
