After a night of binge drinking and poor choices at a series of underage parties, Sullivan’s 17-year-old daughter Taylor wandered away alone in the woods and drowned in only two feet of water. She was found three days later. Passionate about reaching students’ hearts and minds, Sullivan simply shares what happened that night, how it could have been prevented and how Taylor’s death has affected her family, Taylor’s friends and the community. She will be sharing her story with M-W High School students during the school day.
