It was an extreme experience, with danger at every turn, but it changed my life.
As a female driver of a vintage Porsche, I was an anomaly.
I happened to meet an FBI agent who investigated child pornography and child sex trafficking.
He told me horrifying stories that I couldnt unhear.
I thought,This is such a difficult subject, but its what I have to do.
We created a nonprofit and have supported 13 groups that fight human trafficking and restore its victims.
Weve raised more than $700,000 toward an initial goal of $1 million.
What Ive learned is that when youconquer your fears, you find strength you didnt know you had.
And youre capable of doing incredible things.
