Today I spoke to Rick Kauffman about a tragic incident of his 3 year old daughter drowning 26 years ago, and the impact it has had on him and his family. He is extremely open and transparent about his story, and he teaches us so much about what it is like to go through this kind of traumatic event and how he uses his story for good. Rick has made it his life's mission to learn and educate people on how to be water safe, and to prevent drownings. He has created a platform of water safety advocates called The Kels Group, named after his daughter Kelsey and he is on a mission is to save 185 000 lives by 2029.
