💔 12-year-old Ukrainian Yana Stepanenko ran a 5-kilometer distance as part of the Boston Marathon using prosthetics

Two years ago, Yana lost both legs during a missile attack on the station in Kramatorsk.

By participating in the race, the Ukrainian decided to raise funds for a sports prosthesis for the soldier Alexander Ryasny , who lost his leg during the defense of Zaporozhye.

Yana trained intensively for the Boston Marathon for two months, training four times a week.
