- Jo Beckwith was 13 years old when a horseback riding accident shattered her ankle. Running was off-limits, and the impact between her foot and the ground was too painful, so after years of surgeries were unable to repair it, she was faced with a life-altering decision. At age 27, she decided to amputate her leg below the knee, in the hope of a better life. When a friend gifted her a running blade, running became possible again. Follow Jo as she trains for her first-ever 5K.
She started documenting her thought process on camera-why she was thinking about amputation, how she was dealing with people’s opinions. She published the videos on RUclips on her channel @FootlessJo , and they eventually garnered tens of thousands of views. Now she covers everything from amputation and her running journey to advocating for mental health.

Wait u have been back on a horse that's incredible
Bless you Jo! Wishing you nothing but happiness and love.
Ahh someone cutting onions in here... i know the feeling of running a 5k and it's such a powerful thing, even with 2 functioning meat legs. I am so happy for you!
It's so nice to see the joy in Jo's eyes! I had no idea that running legs were so expensive, I am very happy that you were able to get two!
A nice piece that didn’t turn into inspiration porn.
Anyone can do anything temporarily. That’s so true. Well said, Dad.
Ah as someone who has watched Jo for a long time, it was so touching to see her dad talking about her situation and them running together! I've never seen him in videos before so that was really nice. 🥲❤
I really, really love this video. What a great thing to have, for Jo herself and everyone who can be inspired by her.
no stopping you. Congratulations.
Jo is so amazing!
Amazing young woman!
Your father is a sweetheart. I am proud of you. 😘
What a nice Dad!!!
What an inspirational story. Thanks for sharing this 😎
It's good to see you so excited about doing your 5k all your fans on these sites are your cheerleaders go jo
Jo! I have been following your channel for a while and I am so happy for you that you were able to complete a 5K! Watching this video made my cry, because I know that it has been a long and difficult journey. Congratulations!
So touching it is !! And this video is inspiration for many. More Power to you girl.
Wow so impressive! I'm so inspired! And I'm passionate about mental health too!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Nicely done! Your passion comes across loud and clear 👌 Yep life sometimes sucks, but get your ass up and keep moving forward! 💕
Awesome!
HELL YEAH JO. GET AFTER IT. EVERY DAMN DAY.
Amazing woman. It is so sad that in a rich country like America amputees have to be rich to afford a prosthetic like this one. That is not the case in England. I am proud to be British.
Go Jo.
I know how your feeling exactly. Well done.!
Keep it positive ❤️
Wish you the evening in completing the marathon
Hi Jo, I just had Triple Arthrodesis, Achilles’ tendon lengthening on 8/10/22, was doing well, going to PT and about 4 weeks ago the pain was different and worse from the beginning, got a CT, I’m not fusing,so I’m gonna try a bone stimulator which won’t probably happen till after thanksgiving, hope you have a nice Thanksgiving by the way. If that doesn’t work I need revision surgery and all I could do was think about you.I’m on strict bed rest, no PT and was wondering if you had any advice or thoughts. Hope your well, thanks liz
