Kayleigh Bonner, the daughter of Brett Bonner, became an advocate for understanding the potential brain injuries faced by surfmen in the Coast Guard after her father's tragic death. At 18, she conducted a survey among active and retired surfmen, uncovering alarming trends in mental health issues similar to those her father experienced, aiming to bring awareness and change to the Coast Guard regarding the impacts of wave-induced injuries.
