Pam O’Donnell Is The Only One Who Lost Half Her Family To A Distracted Driver Episode 65


Listen Later

Can you picture surviving cancer and feeling like you’ve been given a second chance at life? A chance to really cherish the time you spend with your beloved husband and your two beautiful daughters? 

Pam O’Donnell, wife, mother, cancer survivor and founder of the Catch You Later Foundation, spent the year after her last chemo treatment, giving thanks for the fact that she was alive and she didn’t have to leave her husband wifeless and her children motherless.

But what would you do if one ordinary afternoon, you found out that a distracted driver had taken the lives of both your husband Tim and youngest daughter, Bridget? Would you curl up in a ball and let your grief consume you? Or would you start a foundation and speak to people around the world about the dangers of driving while impaired?
