The Road For Life

11/22/2018

This is so very well written. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t give up on your family. I have seen this struggle in many people that I love and admire. I try to be a sounding board for them. I try to be the support they need. I vow to be that person for anyone who needs it. Losing a loved one to tragedy is so very damaging. Losing a loved one by their own hand is indescribable.
On this Thanksgiving Day make a point of reaching out to anyone in your life that you even vaguely think could be battling depression or anxiety. We all need one another sometimes. It’s not a sign of weakness to lean on someone, it is the ultimate sign of strength.

I just saw this commercial on TV. Sorry the quality of the recording is not so great, but the message is powerful. A simple text message can cause you to leave behind many people who will love and miss you. Don't text and drive. Don't text your friends when you know they are driving. The temptation could cause a tragedy. When you get behind the wheel put your phone away and on silent. This way you have no idea if a text comes through and you aren't tempted to answer it. Love yourself and your family enough to leave your phone alone while driving. Stay safe!

We are reaching out to local driving schools to partner with. I've already contacted Fitzgeralds because that is where Alex went, but can anyone recommend a school that they either went to themselves or sent your child to and felt it was a good experience.
thanks all!!!

Xzavier, Chandler, Debbie, and Reggie all know the horrors of texting & driving firsthand. Acclaimed director Werner Herzog tells their stories in this power...

This may not solve all of the issues, but awareness is a start. I'm very excited that we will have 2 stops along the LIE. There has been a lot of discussion about this and many feel it is a waste of taxpayers money, but if it saves one life..if it stops one person from grabbing their phone and makes them realize that they can wait just a few minutes to get to the It can Wait safe zone, then isn't it worth it. I know you would say it was if it was your child behind the wheel or in the car that was struck by someone that just couldn't wait!

Police issued a total of 5,553 tickets for texting while driving in New York between July 4 and Sept. 2, up from 924 tickets issued last year. In an effort to combat texting and driving, Gov. Cuomo unveiled a plan to create "texting zones." Two of the 91 zones are located off the Long Island Expressway.

Texting while driving is 23 times more likely to cause an accident than having an intoxicated driver behind the wheel. It can wait! Take the pledge.
