Amy Purdy - snowboarder extreme

When she was 19, Amy Purdy lost both her legs below the knee to meningitis. And, now, she's a pro snowboarder who is a likely contender to represent Team USA at the 2014 Paralympic Games in Sochi. In this powerful talk, Purdy demonstrates how to draw inspiration from life's obstacles. (Filmed at TEDxOrangeCoast.)

All-around incredible speaker and person!
