Jeff Bauman is better known as a survivor of the
Boston Marathon Bombings and subsequently an author of his experiences. He lost his legs during the 2013 attack and was photographed being carried from the scene. His bestselling novel would then be made into a film starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
As for his earlier beginnings, Jeff Bauman was the son of Patty and Jeff Bauman Sr. He got married in 2014 and the union with Erin Hurley resulted in one daughter before he got divorced. Before the Boston Marathon bombing, he had been employed at a Costco service deli for three years.
During the Bombing, he was waiting to cheer on his girlfriend who was running the race before the bombs exploded. He was seriously injured and had to be carried to an ambulance. It was the pictures of Bauman being carried that would become famous as it was published on the
Associated Press website.
Jeff Bauman had surgery on the very same day and since his injuries were so severe, he had to have both of his legs amputated. Since he had been so close to the explosion, he gave interviews to the agents including a description of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Bauman was discharged four weeks later and got new prosthetic legs that had microprocessors to make it possible for him to walk in them. A few days later, he threw a ceremonial pitch for the
Boston Red Sox. Josh Haner the photographer who documented his recovery won the Pulitzer Prize for his work.
In 2014, Jeff Bauman published his memoir
Stronger, which chronicles his experiences following the Boston Marathon Bombings.
He was unfortunate enough to have been at the finish line when the bombs went off and was seriously injured. In
Stronger, he describes the terror and chaos of the bombing and the ensuing investigation in which he was a leading witness. He takes his readers inside his rehabilitation, and how he tried his best to reconcile his frustration and guilt with the admiration he received from the world.
