Does This Qualify as an Alternative Lead?


Victoria Arlen is a senior of Exeter High School who won a gold medal and three silver medals swimming at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London.

Great achievements do not come without monumental sacrifices.

Arlen suffers from transverse myelitis, a rare neurological virus that causes inflammation in her spine. Treatments have saved Arlen’s life from a near death parilysis from the waist down. However, 
 the paralysis in her legs is irreversible.

Gov. John Lynch dubbed Friday to be Victoria Arlen Day throughout the state of New Hampshire. Lynch will attend EHS’s scheduled Spirit Week Pep Rally on Friday Sept. 21 to present Arlen with an epic speech.
