BROUGHTON WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PLAYER HAS INSPIRATIONAL STORY
RALEIGH--
Emily Newton of Broughton High
School in Raleigh has proven to be an inspiration for many.
The
Sunday edition of the Raleigh News and Observer had a front-page story about
the 16-year-old junior athlete who is playing varsity basketball for the Lady
Caps just eight months after getting a liver transplant.
Her
supportive family and her strong faith are both major elements of the story, which
was written by Nate Taylor. Emily suffered from Wilson disease, a rare genetic
disorder that causes the body to retain poisonous amounts of copper and is
found in only one of about 40,000 people.
The
story can be found by clicking the Sports link on the web site at www.newsobserver.com and then
going to High School Sports, where the story is entltled "Strength Found,
She Inspires Others."
