After speaking with young adults participating in VCU’s Project GRACY, Alvin Costa shares why this conversation is so personal to him.

At 18, Alvin lost his best friend, Christopher, in a devastating car crash and tried desperately to save his life. While struggling with that loss, Alvin later made a dangerous choice of his own and received a DUI at 19.

Alvin understands both sides of a preventable driving decision. His message is one of honesty, accountability, and hope: A DUI or reckless driving charge does not have to define your future—but what you choose to do next matters.

Slow down. Buckle up. Never drive impaired. Safe choices save lives. Listen to Alvin’s message HERE
