Lauren Vaughn Obituary, Death – It’s never easy to get people together to talk about a loved one who has died away. It’s a time for introspection and a sorrowful get-together to cherish memories and commemorate a life taken far too soon. The notion of getting Lauren’s friends together for this kind of thing was received with hesitation and fear. It seemed intimidating to go into the depths of loss and suffering in front of a camera. Even so, there was a strong will to go beyond of one’s comfort zone and raise awareness of a problem that many people in society face: driving after intoxication.
The terrifying repercussions of driving while intoxicated have become almost too commonplace in today’s society. It is a disaster that comes without warning, destroying lives and leaving a path of destruction in its wake. There is, however, a ray of optimism amid the devastation—hope to spark dialogue, effect change, and avert more heartache.
Here comes documentarian Andrew W. Trimble, who is ready to capture the unadulterated spirit of this voyage. His camera will document the harsh reality of life following Lauren Vaughn’s passing. He will tell a story that goes beyond numbers and explores the emotional fallout from a tragedy that was 100% avoidable through images and videos. In addition to being a memorial, the next LV5K – In Honor of Lauren Vaughn is a call to action. It serves as a moving reminder that there is a name, a face, and an untold story behind every number. This is an opportunity for the community to come together and honor not just Lauren but all others who have lost their lives due to the terrible problem of drunk driving.
A sense of eagerness grows as the event draws near. March 30th is expected to be a day of contemplation, resiliency, and remembering. It’s a chance to pay tribute to a cherished friend and unite against the needless loss of life. So mark your calendars, donate to the cause, and let’s work together to make sure that this avoidable tragedy claims no more lives.
