Victoria Arlen is the lone New Hampshire representative to the 2012 Paralympic games in London.

Read about her here.. and cheer her on! She's got a strong chance at Gold!

Many of the athletes, that are part of the 227 strong US Team, are wounded warriors. It's too bad that the networks don't give more coverage to these games.

The support and commitment that my former employer, Invacare Corporation,
continues to give Paralympic Sports is nothing short of spectacular!

There's a lake connection as well. Her parents had (may still have?) a summer place in Moultonborough.

My kids swam on the same team as her for a Winter season and she's such a genuinely nice person with a smile that lights up a room. She deserves all the good fortune that comes her way.
