My friends, today’s story is of double leg
amputee“Amy Purdy”. She is a licensed Massage Therapist,
Esthetician and Makeup Artist. She also is a top professional Motivational
Speaker and the
Finalist of “Dancing with Stars” season 18. She is the Co - Founder of Adaptive
Action Sports an organization she founded with her partner Daniel Gale that is
an instrumental part of getting adaptive skateboarding,
snowboarding and moto x into ESPN X Games and snowboarding
into the 2014 Paralympic Games. She is a spokesperson for many companies
and organizations including Element Skateboards, she is a model, actress
and one of the top adaptive snowboarders in the world, currently
training for the 2014 Paralympic Games.
Let me
tell you more about her
At the age of 19, after experiencing flu-like symptoms for
about 24 hours, she was rushed to the hospital in a state of septic shock. En
route to the hospital, Amy experienced respiratory and multiple organ failure.
These factors, combined with a blood condition called disseminated
intravascular coagulation, in which the blood becomes extremely thin and
creates microscopic blood clots, caused Amy to lose circulation to her feet,
hands, nose, ears, and kidneys, and caused her lungs and adrenal glands to
hemorrhage. Miraculously, her heart and brain were unaffected.
After 26 pints of blood and removal of her ruptured
spleen, doctors diagnosed Amy with Bacterial Meningitis. Following this, Amy
was in a coma for close to three weeks, and doctors gave her less then a
two-percent chance of survival. Due to the lack of circulation she had
suffered at the beginning of her ordeal, doctors had to amputate her legs below
the knee, miraculously her other extremities regained their circulation and
escaped amputation.
Almost two years later Amy participated in Nevada's first
Laparoscopic Kidney Transplant surgery receiving a kidney from her father. In
2002 Amy received a grant from the Challenged Athletes Foundation, which
allowed her to travel to various snowboarding competitions in the US. Just
weeks after her kidney transplant, Amy entered the USASA national snowboarding
competition, where she won medals in three events.
In 2003 Amy spent most of her time in California which opened several doors for
her in the modeling and acting industry. In February of that year she played a
runway model in a music video for Madonna, who reportedly took a personal
interest in Amy, coaching her through her video role and commenting on her
amazing spirit. Adding to her challenges and accomplishments in May of 2004 Amy
landed the lead female role in the independent film What's Bugging Seth.
Amy has modeled for various photography projects, including a recent Nikki Sixx
project where her legs are custom made from steel to look like
icepicks. Amy was featured in the first edition of Fugue Magazine”. Amy
also recently was featured on The Entertainment Tonight Insider which focused
on her acting and modeling career. Amy is also an accomplished Makeup Artist
and is recently a new Advocate for the Element Eden a skateboard and lifestyle
company.
Amy's most significant accomplish to date is in the creation
and development of the action sport athletic organization; Adaptive
Action Sports. In 2005 Amy and her partner Daniel Gale founded the
non-profit organization to help adaptive athletes get involved with action
sports, art and music. Amy helps organize advanced adaptive freestyle
camps and help AAS develop skate and snowboard camps for youth,
young adults and wounded veterans. As of 2011, Amy is top ranked in
the world for Adaptive Snowboarding and is working hard with Adaptive
Action Sports and other organizations to get snowboarding into the Paralympics. Amy
has played a significant role in the action sport movement within the disabled
community and plans to continue challenging herself with her athletic and
artistic passions while helping others do the same.
My friends, After going through this life-altering trauma, Amy challenged herself to move on with her life and not only regain some sense of normalcy, but also attain goals that even people who have both legs struggle to achieve. She has the amazing ability to constantly redefine herself. Be strong; be positive we can achieve what we want.

This blog
is the brainchild of my own, who lost his Right Leg Above-knee due to
negligence and carelessness in treatment. Ultimately, this harsh experience was
the driving force to create a blog in order to help people
with physical disabilities. My blog intends to encourage people with disabilities,
tries to lift their optimism and hopes to help to overcome bias in order to
reduce prejudices against all physically disabled worldwide. Inevitably, we
cannot change all these long-standing stereotypes, intolerances and inequality
issues in many countries simply over night. However, we strongly believe that
every little success helps to lift the optimism of those who are concerned and
conveys the important message that no-one on this planet should be coerced into
a feeling of inferiority simply because of a physical disability. Our aim is to
demonstrate that, firstly, “Disability” is by no means contradictory terms.
Secondly, disabled people are as happy and have the same quality and standard
of life as their able-bodied contemporaries. And last but not least: there is
no point in worrying about finding the right guy, girl, partner or soul mate,
and also no reason to hide from the world because of a physical disability. Our aims and objectives:
Improve quality of life for
all amputees.
Encourage amputees to
develop a positive approach to living with amputation through motivational
and inspirational stories.
Educate amputees with
information on Latest Advanced Technology Artificial limbs or Prosthetics and
all aspects of amputation.
Raise awareness about
issues as diverse as the experiences and abilities of amputees.
My friends, today’s story is of Double
Amputee a Model, Athlete, Inspiration“Aimee Mullins”. Aimee Mullins has amazing athletic
accomplishments, a successful modeling career, and has earned accolades as a
motivational speaker. She was born with a medical condition that resulted in
the amputation of both of her lower legs and has become one of the most
prominent thinkers on the topic of prosthetic innovation.
Let me tell you more about her Aimee Mullins is an
American athlete, actress,
and fashion model. Mullins was born with fibular hemimelia and, she was told she
would never walk, and would likely spend the rest of her life using a
wheelchair. In an attempt for an outside chance at independent mobility,
doctors amputated both her legs below the knee on her first birthday. She was told by doctors
that, she might never learn to walk but she proved that she can walk. With the help of prosthetic legs, she learned to walk and even learned to run
fast. In her childhood, she spent her time in athletic activities like
swimming, biking, softball and skiing always alongside normal kids.
After graduating high school with honors, Aimee was one of
three students in the US chosen for a full academic scholarship from the
Department of Defense, and at age 17 became the youngest person to hold a
top-secret security clearance at the Pentagon. She worked there as an
intelligence analyst during her summer breaks.
Mullins become the first
amputee to compete on NCAA track team and was a star athlete at Georgetown. She went on to compete in 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta, setting
three world records in the 100m, 200m and long jump. In 1999, Mullins was
invited to model on the runway for designer Alexander McQueen on hand-carved
wooden legs complete with six-inch heels. Mullins became the face of a L'Oreal
campaign for True Match and was named as one People's 50 Most Beautiful People.
Mullins strives to be one
of those people for others, traveling around the country giving inspirational
speeches, encouraging everyone to harness perceived shortcomings as a
springboard for achieving lofty dreams. She says, "Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much
sexier than any body part.”
My
friends, Aimee Mullins defied the limited expectations of the doctors and learned
to walk, run fast. Being a Double Amputee, she is a Successful Model, Athlete
and Inspiration to everyone. She has the amazing ability to constantly redefine
herself. She is just as comfortable in high heels and gowns as she is in
running shorts and sneakers. Be strong; be positive we can achieve what we
want. I am here for you guys and I
will keep updating relevant information, Real Stories and Details about Advance
Technology Prosthetics for you. If you have any question or query and need my

Hi, My friends, today’s
story is of great
Indian amputee badminton champion“Neeraj George Baby”. Neeraj
George Baby covers the badminton court with ease and smashes the shuttlecock
into the opponent's turf.
Neeraj is left leg above knee amputee. He clinched a gold in
doubles and silver in singles at the 2008 Asian Paralympics Cup and also
secured titles in the National level tournaments.
Let me tell you more about him Neeraj George Baby covers the badminton court
with ease and smashes the shuttlecock into the opponent's turf. Through
fierce dedication and painstaking hard work, this 24-year-old differently-abled
player triumphed over all odds to excel in this high energy sport.
Neeraj, whose life took a shocking turn when his left leg had to be
amputated because of bone tumour during school days, is the first player from
Kerala to win an international level badminton championship for the
differently-abled. He
clinched a gold in doubles and silver in singles at the 2008 Asian Paralympics
Cup and also secured titles in the National level tournaments. The victories
have only strengthened his resolve. However, his preparation and performance
have been affected by the lack of financial assistance. Having qualified for the 19th Para-badminton
World Championships to be held in Guatemala in November, this prospective medal
winner from Aluva is now in search of a corporate sponsor who can fetch him Rs.
1.7 lakh to appear for the competition. Though a bit disappointed over being
ignored by the government, other private sponsors and more importantly by the
public, his confidence is not shaken. “This is for the third time that I have
qualified for the world championships. But I am yet to appear in the
tournament. This year, I cannot afford to miss the event as that may spell the
end of my career,” says Neeraj. He also notes that other countries offer
extensive support to their physically challenged sportspersons. To support his fight for the recognition of
physically challenged sportsmen, Neeraj is now planning to form an association
of Para-badminton players, which, he believes, will help in addressing their
collective concerns. My friends Neeraj never stopped fighting with
his financial and physical condition, inspite of this his strong
will power, positive attitude, inner strength, strong
mind, courage and passion towards sports made him a badminton champion. Be
strong; be positive we can achieve what we want. I am here for you guys and I will keep updating relevant information,
Real Stories and Details about Advance Technology Prosthetics for you. If you
have any question or query and need my help on anything you can mail me at jas.singh474@gmail.com. I need your wishes and Love.
Thank you
