Amy Purdy: Greeting adversity
Amy Purdy is a world-class adaptive snowboarder who has won three back-to-back Paralympic World Cup gold medals and is currently training for the Paralympic Games. At age 19, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee following complications from bacterial meningitis. She now has prosthetics. “Instead of thinking of how I was limited by these legs, I started to think of the unlimited possibilities with these legs.”
