Victoria's Story
Victoria Arlen's life drastically changed in 2006 at the tender age of eleven when she developed two rare conditions known as Transverse Myelitis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. Victoria spent nearly four years “locked” inside her own body completely aware of what was going on just unable to move or communicate. Victoria went on to exceedingly defy the odds and not only relearn to speak, eat, and move all over again but has since become an accomplished Motivational Speaker, Television Host and Swimmer. Victoria has become world famous not only for her story and accomplishments but for her message: “Face It, Embrace It, Defy It, Conquer It.” ™
