I Will love to share with you one of those who inspire me and I hope you also get inspired too.

If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want  your story to end? This question caught my attention, it got me thinking. I had a deeper insight that, everyday's activity is an indirect writing on the pages of the book of our lives.


Amy purdy is a 38 years old American actress, model, dancer, para-snowboarder, motivational speaker, cloth designer and author. Amy  is a 2014 paralympics bronze medalist, 2018 paralympics silver medalist, and co-founder of Adaptive Action Sports.

Purdy was born in Las Vegas and at age 19, she contracted Neisseria meningitis, a form of bacterial meningitis.The disease lead to her losing both of her legs; which had to be amputated below the knee, she lost both kidneys, and her spleen had to be removed too. Doctors gave her a 2% chance of survival and was on life support for a while. After two years, she received a kidney transplant from her father.

She began snowboarding again and has received lots of award. I would say she's really great at snowboarding 🏂.

In 2003, Purdy was recruited by the CAF as spokesperson. She also became involved in modeling and acting industry. In February 2003, she played a model in a Madonna music video. Later in 2003, she started working for Freedom Innovations, a prosthetic feet manufacturer, as its "Amputee Advocate".

She has gone on to co-found her own non-profit organization, Adaptive Action Sports, a chapter of Disabled Sports USA, for individuals with physical disabilities who want to get involved in action sports (snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing) or art and music.


She is also an author 😂 and happily married.

You can also watch her TedX video here you will be so touched.
