Get a glimpse of what it would be like to have Amberly Lago speak at your event. If it's someone exceptional on the topic of motivation and resilience, you just found her! She had 34 surgeries to save her leg from amputation after a motorcycle accident, spent months in the hospital, thousands of hours in physical therapy and was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, dubbed "the suicide disease" because it is ranked highest on the pain scale and there is no known cure.
