Hi, I’m Clare, I’ve been a volunteer with Catherine’s Cause since they began. I previously had been a volunteer with MADD. Phil, Cindy and I all share the loss of a family member from a drunk driver. My father Dr. Saleem Shah was hit in a crash by a drunk driver, while driving home from work. He died several days later from all the injuries sustained. He left behind a wife, 6 daughters and 6 grandchildren. I became a volunteer to make people aware of the consequences of drunk driving and the lifelong heartbreak it causes. I’ve been volunteering for this important cause since 1992.

Brooke has been a volunteer with Catherine’s Cause since July 2016. She came to CC after the death of her only child, her son, Zachary, at the hands of a drunk driver. She is open and honest about her own experiences with drinking and driving and offers a unique perspective, reminding everyone that drunk driving is the only 100% preventable form of death. Brooke recently took on the role of Executive Director as Phil and Cindy begin to phase out of daily operations.
