Turning setbacks into comebacks is something Amy Purdy has done over and over.

After losing both her legs in a near-death battle with a bacterial blood infection with only a 2% chance of survival—she somehow made it. And has continued to astound the world with ongoing achievements as an athlete, dancer and motivational speaker.

At the 2018 Paralympics in South Korea, Amy added a bronze and a silver to her collection, making her, at the time, the most decorated Paralympic snowboarder in Team USA’s history.

Just days after she stepped off the Paralympic podium, she stepped onto the dance floor as the first Paralympic to compete on the TV show Dancing With the Stars. With her partner Derek Hough, they went all the way to the finals coming in runner-up and inspiring millions worldwide, breaking boundaries and showcasing the power of creativity and the human spirit.

As an internationally-recognized motivational speaker, Amy travels around the globe speaking, frequently as the first woman to keynote for many brands. Amy speaks to leading corporations and organizations like Disney, Berkshire Hathaway, the World Health Organization, Toyota, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, SAP, and Dell.

And the astounding accomplishments continue with film, advertising and Amy’s first memoir, On My Own Two Feet, quickly became a New York Times Bestseller and has been published around the world in ten different languages.

Amy’s greatest desire was to have a second chance at life. Her inspiring example and achievements in face of near insurmountable obstacles now give each of us a second chance with our challenges. Sometimes that is all we need.

Second Chance. Pass It On!
