What is Ruth Codd's disability?
Ruth had her right leg amputated follow complications from a football accident when she was 15-years-old.
Speaking to Teen Vogue, about her decision to amputate her leg, Ruth revealed: "I got injured at 15, and I didn't get my leg amputated until I was 23.
"So, those eight years were operation after operation, and, sometimes they kind of worked for a while, and then I’d end up back on crutches. At that age, you think you're unstoppable, and it was a lot of having to learn a bit too young that sometimes life doesn't really work out the way you thought it would. But I wouldn't change it.
"It made me a really resilient person. I'm thankful for just being able to do simple things like walk around or go on a bike or ride my horse. It kind of teaches you to not take things for granted."
She also told the Irish Examiner: "It never healed correctly, so until I was 23, I was on and off crutches, getting loads of operations.
"Because of nerve damage and chronic pain, I chose to get it amputated … When I made the decision … things finally started to turn around. It was a relief. I could get on with my life."

They built a whole arena we were stuck on a ship out in the rain for four months!"
