Allison Jones (athlete)

Allison Jones (born May 12, 1984 in Amarillo, Texas) is a Paralympic skier and cyclist for the United States of America. She was born with the birth defect proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), which left her without a right femur. She underwent surgery at age 7 months to amputate her right foot, allowing her to more easily wear a prosthetic leg. She received her first prosthetic leg at 9 months of age. Allison moved from Amarillo, TX to Colorado Springs, CO at age 2 and a half.

She has a mechanical engineering degree from University of Denver where she received the "Pioneer Award".^[1]

She lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado.^[2] Most of her Paralympic medals have been at skiing, but she also won a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in cycling.^[3]
