Alisa McMorris, of Wading River whose 12-year-old son was killed by a drunk driver in 2018 will be joining other surviving families for a candlelight vigil in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
They will be lighting 10,000 candles in honor of their loved ones.
"We are going as a family to join with all those other victims to light a candle for our child and save someone from this horror," explained McMorris.
The group will also gather at the National Mall to advocate for a federal law passed in 2021 that directs the U.S. Department of Transportation to come up with anti-drunk driving regulations for new cars.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving says about 13,000 lives are lost each year due to drunk driving.
