Every year, hundreds of children die from drowning — including several cases in the Hampton Roads area.

Kim Bianchi knows that loss firsthand. Her daughter, Gabriella, was 2.5 years old when she drowned in a pool in 2019.

"She was energetic, loving and caring. She made your life so much better," Bianchi said.

In the years since, Bianchi has channeled her grief into a mission: educating the community about aquatic survival skills. She founded the nonprofit Bean's Way, which has helped more than 200 children learn those skills.
