'I'm here to tell the story for those who are not'
But standing by the memorial in Hyde Park, her thoughts are not on her losses but the 52 people who did not survive.
Ms Stober was on the Tube at Aldgate station when one of four coordinated suicide bombs detonated during the morning rush hour. She lost her lower left leg among other life-changing injuries.
Now, 20 years later, she said: "Although I lost parts of my body, I am still here to tell the story, to represent those who are not".
"I'm reflecting on my life before 7/7 and my life after.
"I was on the train later than usual because I had taken my son to nursery as I had promised him.
"Then as I was walking towards the platform [at Moorgate station], I saw a train and I ran for it. So I went into the carriage that I would not normally go into.
"Consequently, I was on the wrong train the wrong time."
The day before the attacks, Ms Stober remembered as "momentous" and "incredibly happy", as London celebrated winning the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As a senior lawyer, she had worked on the bid.
She had originally planned to take the next day off, but changed her mind due to the workload.
Ms Stober was "completely unaware" she was standing next to a man with a rucksack who would turn out to be one of the four bombers, Shehzad Tanweer.
When the bomb detonated, she was thrown onto the tracks, partly underneath the train with a piece of the train door impaled in her right thigh and left foot twisted backwards.
When she began seeing rescuers in yellow and orange jackets approaching, she shouted: "Help me, help me. I'm alive. I don't want to die."
"I was thinking of my son, my mother, my husband.
"And I worked so hard on the Olympics - I wanted to get back to continue my work on the Olympics."
Ms Stober said the memory of that day is still "vividly clear".
"If I could have amnesia permanently to eliminate everything about the incidents, I would."
She suffered significant injuries, internally to her liver and stomach and externally her lower left leg - and nearly lost her right arm.
She has complete loss in her left ear and a percentage loss in her right.
After years of suffering from persistent headaches that she put down to migraines, Ms Stober discovered at a scan in 2019 that she had shrapnel in her brain, which now requires annual monitoring.
"I remember being in the hospital and they were not sure whether I would be alive and my mother, who was deeply religious, wrote to every Bishop in the country, including the Pope," she said.
Ms Stober said the ordeal brought out her "inner resilience".
"The whole idea of the attack was to destroy individuals and communities. I wasn't going to let that happen."
She channelled her experience into supporting survivors and shaping policy.
She co-chairs the Grenfell Memorial Commission and advises governments and the United Nations on survivor-led disaster preparedness.

'The 7/7 London bombings made me feel helpless'
Surviving the 7/7 London bombings 20 years on
Ms Stober said there is a "mixed feelings" as she looks back on the attack and the 20 years since.
"There is anxiety. There is sadness because 52 people lost their lives," she says.
"It's not something I would've wished on anyone but looking back now, I have been involved with so many positive things that I would not have been involved in if it wasn't for 7/7."
"I'm glad I'm alive to do what I do."
Coverage of events marking the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 terror attacks begins at 8:00 BST on the BBC News website and BBC Radio London.

Public inquiry begins into ‘horrific' Southport murders
The public inquiry into the murders of three young girls in Southport last summer will begin later on Tuesday. Chairman Sir Adrian Fulford, a former vice-president of the Court of Appeal, will begin proceedings with an opening statement at Liverpool Town Hall. And on Wednesday, the inquiry will hear evidence from four families whose children were injured in the attack. A key question for the inquiry is whether the attack could or should have been prevented, given what was known about the killer. Axel Rudakubana was given a life sentence in January, with a minimum term of 52 years – one of the highest minimum terms on record – for murdering Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport on July 29 last year. The 18-year-old also attempted to murder eight other children, who cannot be named for legal reasons, as well as class instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes. Sir Adrian said: 'Today, just less than a year since one of the most horrific crimes in our country's history took place in Southport, we open the independent inquiry into the events surrounding the attack and events leading up to it. 'Tomorrow I will then begin to hear from some of the families whose children were injured on that terrible day. 'We will hold two days of hearings this week and then resume hearings on September 8 at Liverpool Town Hall when I will hear from more of the victims, survivors and their families. 'My focus throughout this inquiry will be a thorough and forensic investigation of all the circumstances surrounding the attack and the events leading up to it. 'This will include the perpetrator's history and interactions with all the relevant agencies, how they shared information and responded to the risks that he posed. I will then move into a second phase next year where I will consider the wider issues of children and young people being drawn into extreme violence. 'As chair of this inquiry, I am committed to proceeding at pace and with rigour whilst balancing the needs of those who live with the continued trauma of what happened in Southport in July 2024.' Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced the public inquiry in January to help understand what went wrong and prevent any repetition of similar incidents. Three separate referrals were made to the Government's counter-terror programme Prevent about Rudakubana's behaviour in the years before the attack, as well as six separate calls to police. A review into the Prevent referrals published in February found there was sufficient risk posed by Rudakubana to keep his cases within Prevent active but that these were closed prematurely while too much focus was placed on a lack of distinct ideology. The inquiry will draw on evidence from interviews with witnesses and disclosure from 15 organisations, including MI5, Counter-Terrorism Policing, NHS England and Merseyside Police. The widespread rioting and civil unrest following the murders is not being examined by the inquiry. Rachael Wong, director at law firm Bond Turner, representing the three bereaved families, said: 'We know that nothing the inquiry reveals or subsequently recommends will change the unimaginable loss felt by the families of Elsie, Alice and Bebe, but we all now have a responsibility to ensure that something like this never happens again. 'We will be doing all we can to assist the chair through the inquiry and uncover the truth. 'It is only through intense public scrutiny that real change can be effected.' The inquiry begins at 2pm.

UK sanctions Russians over chemical weapons in Ukraine
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain on Monday targeted two Russian individuals and one Russian entity as part of its chemical weapons sanctions regime, in its latest effort to punish Moscow for the war in Ukraine. It imposed asset freezes and travel bans on Aleksey Viktorovich Rtishchev and Andrei Marchenko, the head and deputy head of Russia's radiological chemical and biological defence troops, for their role in the transfer and use of chemical weapons in Ukraine, the British government said. It said the Joint Stock Company Federal Scientific and Production Centre Scientific Research Institute of Applied Chemistry was sanctioned for supplying RG-Vo riot control agent grenades to the Russian military. The grenades have been used as a method of warfare against Ukraine in contravention of the Chemical Weapons Convention, the British government said. The Russian embassy in London did not immediately respond to Reuters request for a comment. Moscow has previously called Western sanctions illegal.

Oasis fans miss gig after fake ticket sales
Dozens of Oasis fans who believed they had bought a private box for Saturday's concert in Cardiff say they have paid hundreds of pounds for tickets they never received. Multiple victims told BBC Wales they were left "gutted" and "angry" after paying Pembrokeshire-based business owner David Gray for tickets which seemingly never existed. They allege Mr Gray may have left as many as 100 people without tickets. BBC Wales has made multiple attempts to contact Mr Gray, but he has been unavailable for comment. Dyfed-Powys Police said it was investigating reports of a ticket scam, but did not make direct reference to Mr Gray. Neil Stephens from Crumlin, Caerphilly, paid £500 for tickets for himself and his wife, who he said was "inconsolable". "My wife, Hannah, is literally the world's biggest Oasis fan," he said. "I had a call from my friend who said he knew somebody with a box and asked if we would be interested. "He said it was a gentleman called David Gray. He's a client of the Principality Stadium and has held many corporate events there. "I've got friends who'd been to the Foo Fighters and the rugby, all as a guest of Mr David Gray. The best pictures from Oasis' return in Cardiff Fans electric as Oasis kick off reunion tour in Cardiff Oasis kick off their comeback: The best they've been since the 90s "There were no alarm bells. There was no reason to disbelieve it, there really wasn't." Mr Stephens said after Mr Gray confirmed their tickets last summer, it was only about a week before the concert that concerns began to emerge. The day before the gig, Mr Stephens and his friend decided to drive to The Speculation Inn near Pembroke, a pub owned and run by Mr Gray's family, to confront him. "I introduced myself and he told me the issue was with his mobile phone, which he said was the phone which contained all of the tickets," said Mr Stephens. "He actually took a call during our time in the pub from a guy flying in from Gibraltar for the gig. "He said that he would meet us outside gate three at 4:30pm and he would sort it out." Mark Bonnici from Machen, Caerphilly, also said he had no reason not to trust Mr Gray, whom he said he had known for years. He paid £1,200 for four tickets and said the experience had left him feeling "sick". Mr Gray had previously offered him hospitality tickets for the rugby, which he went to without issues. When he asked him if he was interested in Oasis tickets, Mr Bonnici said yes and transferred the money. "He said his phone was playing up and he couldn't transfer the tickets," Mr Bonnici said. Like Mr Stephens, he was told to meet Mr Gray outside gate three of the stadium. "There was no sign of him and his phone has been switched off ever since," he said. Mr Stephens decided to call the hospitality account manager for the Principality Stadium on the Saturday morning, while on his way into Cardiff to try to find out whether his tickets were genuine. "He broke the rather unfortunate news that the booking didn't exist in his name," he said. The WRU has been asked whether or not Mr Gray has ever held a box at the Principality Stadium. "I was annoyed, my wife was inconsolable. She was so looking forward to this," said Mr Stephens. "As the day unfolded, it became very clear through a series of Facebook posts that not only did he sell 33 seats for the one box, he sold it over and over and over. "The last count as of this (Monday) morning was 87 tickets. A lot of very angry people". Mr Bonnici also said it only became clear many others had been affected after his daughter posted on social media and contacted hospitality at the Principality Stadium. Large groups of other people had been waiting for their tickets in the same location, he said. "I'm probably more disappointed than anything," he said. "This is someone I know, I've known for years." Mr Stephens claimed that after the unprecedented demand for Oasis tickets led to significant price rises last summer, Mr Gray increased the prices he was charging to between £900 and £1,000 per ticket. He said he believed that overall, fans had lost out to the tune of "tens and tens of thousands of pounds". "I think the biggest issue is, for all of these fans, they didn't get to see Oasis", he said. "And because it's sold out, they won't get to see Oasis. "It's more that than the money for me". Mr Stephens and his wife remain determined to get to an Oasis concert this year and have booked tickets to see the Gallagher brothers on the US leg of their tour in Los Angeles. "Hopefully these ones are genuine," he said. Oasis sale 'may have misled fans' says watchdog Has ticket row taken the shine off Oasis reunion?
