Paralympics champion and Dancing with the Stars contestant Victoria
Arlen shares her courageous and miraculous story of recovery after
falling into a mysterious vegetative state and how she broke free,
overcoming the odds and never giving up hope, eventually living a
full and inspiring life. When Victoria Arlen was eleven years old,
she contracted two rare diseases which induced a vegetative state.
For two years her mind was dark, but in the third year, her mind
broke free, and she was able to think clearly and to hear and feel
everything - but no one knew. When she was fifteen years old,
against all odds and medical predictions, she was finally able to
communicate through eye blinks, and she gradually regained her
ability to speak and eat and move her upper body, but she faced the
devastating reality of paralysis from the waist down because of
damage to her spine. However, Victoria didn't lose her strength or
steadfast determination, and two years later, she won a gold medal
for swimming at the London 2012 Paralympics. Victoria shares her
story - the pain, the struggle, the fight to live and thrive, and
most importantly, the faith that carried her through.
