Our Mission

Boston Strong: over a decade of hope.

Founded by Elizabeth Norden in honor of her sons JP and Paul Norden, A Leg Forever was created to “pay it forward” after the support the family received following the Boston Marathon bombings.

Prosthetic limbs can be life-changing, but the cost is often a major barrier. The foundation helps bridge that gap for eligible amputees in Massachusetts.
