Triathlete and runner Rob Jones was serving as a combat engineer in the United States Marines when he stepped on a land mine. The result was a “left knee dis-articulation and a right above knee amputation of my legs.” Through his recovery he subsequently trained for and competing in rowing in the Paralymics, where he won a bronze medal with his scull teammate. In 2013, he conducted a solo/supported bike ride across the country and raised more than $125,000 for for the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, and Ride 2 Recovery. In October, Rob will be running 31 marathons in 31 days to raise money for a number of good causes. For more info, go to http://robjonesjourney.com.
