Narowski, then 25, was injured in an automobile accident in 1998, after she was thrown from the jeep she was driving. She was driving a friend home who had drank too much that afternoon, but Narowski did not wear her seatbelt.

The accident left her paralyzed from the chest down. Since then, she has traveled the country talking to the public about the dangers of high-risk behavior behind the wheel, including drinking and driving, and texting while driving.

She first spoke to Soldiers of the “Lifeliners” Brigade this past September during a Brigade-level Safety day.
