They\u2019ve all served as presidents of MADD, but rarely do these mothers \u2013 and a father \u2013 get the opportunity to gather together to share their stories at once.

This powerful video of six MADD Presidents sharing their personal stories of loss was tweeted by NHTSA and shared by MADD National.  This is why we are MADD Advisory Board members.  Karlotta, Marilyn, and I know the grief of losing a beloved family member because of impaired driving.
