Not all drivers in Colorado follow the law, which requires drivers to have insurance to cover potential collisions. Awareness of your legal rights and alternatives is crucial to protecting your finances if you are in an accident with an uninsured driver. If you find yourself in this circumstance, you must follow specific legal requirements.

McKenna “JoJo” Mulholland is not 100 percent.The redshirt junior Ball State softball player said she’s not even remotely close to that mark when it comes to her mental health. “I think I'm probably at about 20 percent,” she said. “Nowhere close to where I want to be.”She has spent multiple evenings a week driving around Muncie. Though the Oviedo, Florida, native has no clue where her 2024 Kia Forte is taking her, she keeps going. It depends on the day when a certain emotion will appear on these late-night cruises: anger, sadness and, sometimes, happiness.“I still don't know Muncie, and I've been here for four years,” Mulholland said. “I would turn off my GPS, and I would just go down a bunch of random roads. I'd go down country roads or by the railroad tracks. I would end up on some two-lane road with no street lights on.”Even with that, the Cardinals’ infielder still goes on about her day with a smile on her face. She doesn’t let her teammates see the pain she’s been in and admits she’s stubborn when it comes to talking about her emotions. Why?It was April of 2023 when her stepdad, Joe Gioia, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. He died nine months later in December 2023. One day after his funeral, she was on her way back to Muncie to prepare for the upcoming softball season. It didn’t help that during the season, she was in a slump she felt would never end. Mulholland believes this year started the same way. “I'm not performing exactly [how] I want myself to perform,” she said. “I'm falling short of my expectations right now.” ‘It felt like a fever dream’It was spring of 2023 when Mulholland was on the phone with her mom, Lisa, as the Cardinals were on the road to a tournament. She could tell something was wrong but couldn’t tell where her mom was over FaceTime. Lisa informed McKenna she was at the hospital as Joe was having stomach pains and went down to a knee at his job site. “Prior knowledge, [he had] no health issues. He was still swinging back a couple’ cold ones whenever he wanted,” McKenna said. McKenna received the official news about Joe’s health right before the 2023 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Tournament. She talked to then-Ball State head coach Lacey Schurr, who assured her to do whatever she needed to care for herself. McKenna questioned if she’d even play. Joe shut that idea down quickly. “Joe was the one who called me and said, ‘Look, sweetie, I'm fine. Go play, and I'm gonna see you in a few weeks,’” she said. “That's the reassurance I needed.”After the season, McKenna went home for the summer and said Joe was doing well with chemotherapy. Following the start of school in August, Joe was scheduled to have a procedure to try and remove the cancer. She flew home to be with her family, but at the last minute, the appointment was canceled. Joe had to be off chemotherapy for weeks, and then things became more serious. “That was really discouraging to hear from his end,” McKenna said. “From my end, I was like, ‘OK, this is the end of it. We just gotta get through this, and then he's gonna be all better now.’ So, I went home, and he's just in poor spirits. It was really hard to see.” As time went on, Joe’s health worsened. She knew something was wrong when Joe, Lisa, McKenna and her stepsister went on a car ride. With McKenna needing a new car, Joe rushed them to a dealership and picked out her current means of transportation. She knew the situation wasn’t getting better.“I don't want to remember him when he was sick,” McKenna said. “It spoke volumes to me, thinking back on it now. I didn't realize at the moment why everything was so rushed. I realized it was because he knew that he was passing, but just being there, it just spoke volumes about how selfless he was … He used his bonus to get me my new car. He put the bonus that he worked hard for, and he put it aside so that we could put a down payment on my new car.” And then, it was time. Before McKenna went to the hospital for the final time, she knew what was coming. Standing in her kitchen, she broke down. Her brother, John, was there to try to console her. “I'm completely hysterical. I've never seen myself that way before,” McKenna said. “I couldn't even explain the thoughts that were going through my head. I'm like, ‘No way this is happening. No way it's happening.’ My brother comes and comforts me and calms me down. And he's like, ‘We're gonna go.’” While McKenna was the one who needed consoling, it was her turn to do the same thing for Lisa when the doctors handed her the “Do not resuscitate” paperwork hours later. It’s a moment McKenna will never forget. “It was the saddest thing that I feel like has happened in my life because just seeing her fall apart, and I had to be there for her, and it wasn't the other way around,” McKenna said. “I had to step up and be the strong one, and I wasn't strong whatsoever, and I just had to fake it till I made it.“I remember holding her up as she signed the paper with all the nurses coming out. She collapses in my arms, and I'm just sitting there, trying to hold it together. I'm like, ‘What in the world is going on?’ It felt like a fever dream.”
