Family, friends, and former teammates stood on either side of Boston Post Road in downtown Darien, dressed in shades of red, white, and blue, to cheer on 24-year-old paralympic swimmer Ali Truwit.
Truwit swam in her first meet just three months after the attack. Then ten months after that, she qualified for the U.S. Paralympic team. "You know, it's hard. It's hard day-to-day, and frustrating, and she just finds a way to recognize it, but then get back up and go. She's just a force of will," said Mitch Truwit, Ali's dad."It's tears of joy and happiness and just proud of her for overcoming this," said Tara Slowik, Ali's aunt.For Truwit, it's a dream come true as she drove through town to her flight to Paris, a little more than a year after her traumatic injury.
