Brad Bulla
Adversity: Son died in a drunk driving accident where he was the passenger
Educates others about drunk driving and advocates for violent crime victims
“By sharing my story, perhaps I can make a statistic come to life and touch someone’s heart. If I can do that, then perhaps I can change an action and possibly save someone’s life, or some other family from suffering the loss of a loved one.”
“I collapsed, I fell to the ground. I could barely breathe.” says Jed’s father, Brad Bulla. “I lost a child, his siblings lost a brother, his senior class lost a classmate and his friends lost a true friend.” But Brad turned his family’s loss into advocacy. For over a decade, Brad has been educating people about drunk driving and advocating for victims of violent crime. He is a National Board Member for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and is on the board of Voices of Victims. He speaks at conferences and victim impact panels across the country, and works to pass stronger drunk driving laws in his home state of Tennessee.
