Living Life to the Fullest With a Disability

Double Amputee Amy Purdy Steps It Up for 'Dancing' is about how Amy Purdy is not
letting her loss of her legs to stop her from living her life to the fullest. Purdy lost her legs due to
contracting bacterial meningitis at the age of 19. She has done many things since the loss of her
legs. She became a dancer, snowboarder, TV star, Olympian, singer, and a dance conductor. She
even wants to win a gold medal in ice dancing someday. Purdy also does not let her missing legs
keep her from dressing like every other girl who wears high heels. Purdy wants to live her life to
the fullest to show that amputees can do anything like a normal person.
