"OPRAH'S THE LIFE YOU WANT WEEKEND" ANNOUNCES AMY PURDY TO JOIN MULTI-CITY TOUR THIS FALL

Paralympic Bronze Medalist Snowboarder and "Dancing With The Stars" Finalist to Honor Game-Changing Individuals with Toyota's "Standing O-Vation"

Los Angeles - Oprah Winfrey's "Oprah's The Life You Want Weekend," an eight-city arena tour and transformational weekend powered by WME Live, announced today that Amy Purdy will join the tour's lineup. Purdy, a Paralympic Bronze Medalist snowboarder and "Dancing with the Stars" finalist, will join Oprah on stage for Toyota's "Standing O-Vation," which will recognize extraordinary people in communities around the country.

Purdy, a Team Toyota athlete and brand ambassador, represents the power of inner strength as she continues to overcome obstacles and live as a role model for those who have faced challenges in their lives. After losing her legs at age 19 as a result of Meningitis, Purdy has led an adulthood of extraordinary accomplishments. One of the top adaptive snowboarders in the U.S., she was the Snowboardcross Bronze Medalist in Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games and was a finalist on last season's "Dancing with the Stars." Toyota has proudly been a part of Purdy's journey, including support of her nonprofit organization Adaptive Actions Sports.

The driving force behind Toyota's "Standing O-Vation" stems from the automaker's commitment to fostering women's interests. While reflecting the kind of stories that define the brand, Toyota's "Standing O-Vation" is an opportunity to celebrate remarkable women who are not only making the world a better place, but also motivating others to spark their own journey of personal change.

Local women who are pushing the envelope, beating the odds, and inspiring others will be recognized and honored for living a bold life. To learn more about the "Standing O-Vation" award and nominate an inspiring individual, visit: oprah.com/standingovation
