SURVIVE. RECOVER. LIVE.

No three words better define Rob Jones’ journey. When an IED blast in Afghanistan took both his legs it could have taken everything else—his purpose, his identity, his will to go on. It didn’t. Instead, those three words became a battle cry to rebuild a life that the enemy had tried to destroy.

​

Put Your Legs On, is the unflinching story of what happened after that explosion—the surgeries, the hallucinations, the brutal recovery, and the slow, determined steps to become whole again. With the help of his family, Marines, and those who survived before him, Rob discovers that hope doesn’t end with loss. It starts there.

​

What follows is an extraordinary ascent: relearning how to walk, competing as a Paralympic rower for Team USA, cycling across America, and running 31 marathons in 31 days. Told with honesty, grit, and engaging humor, this is a memoir about resilience, purpose, and a warrior spirit that refuses to quit.

Rob Jones survived an explosion. This is the story of how he’s chosen to live.
