Surviving the Boston Marathon Bombing: Roseann Sdoia Materia’s Story of Survival, Strength, and Paying It Forward
<p>On the <strong>How Can I Help</strong> Podcast, Boston Marathon bombing survivor <strong>Roseann Sdoia Materia</strong> shares her powerful journey of resilience, mindset, and turning tragedy into purpose.</p><p>Roseann explains how positivity is a conscious choice. She encourages listeners to reframe setbacks as “bad moments” rather than “bad days,” shifting perspective, and redirecting energy toward good.</p><p>She vividly recounts the day that changed everything: April 15, 2013. After leaving a Red Sox game, she headed to Boylston Street near the Boston Marathon finish line to cheer on friends.

Roseann opens up about life as an above-knee amputee, the power of survivor community and inclusion, and her deep commitment to helping other amputees.</p><p>She also discusses her book <strong>Perfect Strangers</strong><strong>,</strong> and the remarkable full-circle moment of meeting—and eventually marrying—the firefighter who helped transport her on that fateful day.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Our Guest: </p><p><a href="https://robostrong.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Roseann Sdoia Materia - Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/robostrongsdoia/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Roseann Sdoia Materia - Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/robostrongsdoia" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Roseann Sdoia Materia - Facebook</a></p><p><br></p><p>Join the <strong>How Can I Help Movement</strong>!</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://howcanihelpmovement.com/Shop" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Grab Your Stickers!</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://howcanihelpmovement.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">How Can I Help Movement - Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/howcanihelp_movement/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">How Can I Help Movement - Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/howcanihelpmovement" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">How Can I Help Movement - Facebook</a></p>
