Former U.S. Army Combat Engineer and Tacoma native Edward Lychik, who's left leg was amputated at the hip after a blast in Afghanistan, runs with prosthetist Ryan Blanck on Ruston Way on April 7, 2014, in preparation for the Boston Marathon later this month. Prior to the injury Edward was an avid trail runner and now hopes to combine his running and spirit of resiliency into a career as a motivational speaker and to serve as a inspiration for others.
