Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle and other community leaders expected to attend event dedicated to the life and memory of Danielle “Danie” Abrahams and her dog who were killed by a drunk driver in 2023

Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Target Zero are teaming up with city leaders and community partners — and inviting the public to join them Saturday, May 31 — for a powerful event to call attention to the tragedy of impaired driving.

The inaugural Bike/Walk Like MADD event will spotlight the life and memory of Danielle “Danie” Abrahams and her dog Radimier, who were killed in 2023 when a drunk driver crashed into their home. Danielle and her dog were sitting in her living room.

The message for Saturday’s event, to be held at Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park: Impaired Driving Ends Here.

MADD and Target Zero, along with their sponsors, are united in the mission to end impaired driving. One death is too many.

“We Bike/Walk to create a future with NO MORE VICTIMS. Together, let’s prioritize safety and make this summer a season of safe travel,” noted the press release for Saturday’s event.

Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle is scheduled to attend.

There will also be a release of butterflies at the event.

Bike/Walk like MADD starts at 10 a.m. Saturday at Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park, 9612 NW Lower River Rd in Vancouver.
