Who Is Amy Purdy?
Amy Purdy is one of the world’s most recognized adaptive athletes and advocates for emotional resilience and post-traumatic growth. After surviving meningococcal meningitis at age 19, Amy Purdy lost both legs below the knee, experienced kidney failure, and faced overwhelming uncertainty about her future. Despite these life-changing challenges, Amy Purdy rebuilt her life through adaptive snowboarding, eventually becoming a three-time Paralympic medalist and helping pioneer adaptive snowboarding worldwide. Her journey of overcoming adversity later led her to become the first Paralympian to compete on Dancing with the Stars, where she inspired millions through her resilience and creativity. Today, Amy Purdy continues teaching audiences how to overcome adversity through emotional resilience, gratitude, purpose, and intentional growth.
