Joel Feldman is passionate about striving to create something good out of the tragedy that changed his family forever, “Casey died because a driver took his eyes off the road for just a few seconds. And after it happened, I knew I could easily have been that driver. I had driven while distracted many times. And it took losing Casey for me to realize how lucky I was not to have killed another family’s child, spouse, parent, or friend.”
The internet is a powerful device that can help us honor Casey’s memory by making people think twice about making driving a secondary task. By taking a second out of your day to share a link, you could make people think twice before taking their eyes off the wheel for a critical split second.
