Ready to Redefine What’s Possible for Amputee Athletes?
At ABR, we remove barriers in order to provide free programs and services.
Who We Are
When a local prosthetic company gave our co-founder, Ryan Fann, his first running leg after high school, the world opened up. It’s precisely that opportunity that inspired Aaron and Ryan — two prosthetists — to found Amputee Blade Runners in 2011. Since then, they’ve continually let their mission guide them to help lower-limb amputee athletes of all ages redefine what’s possible in sports, and in life.

We believe an athlete’s potential is defined by mindset, drive, and determination, not limb loss. By removing the barriers to high-tech limbs not typically covered by insurance, we empower every athlete we serve — providing the opportunity to grow beyond their expectation, building confidence, and restoring self worth. We do all this through our multi-pronged approach.
