The RAF Trail Series is celebrating our 5th anniversary. It's bittersweet for all of us here at the Rames Foundation, if this tragedy didn't happen we probably wouldn't be holding this race. As Robin would do, we are here to bring people together to celebrate his life and educate others on the dangers of distracted driving.

As part of our celebration, we will be having a photobook this year. We want to fill it not only with our memories, but with yours too. Send over photos you may have with Robin to [email protected] and have yours included in our celebration.

The race has grown tremendously over the past 5 years, and some participants may not even realize why we are here. We never want to lose sight of that, so join our celebration.

See you in a few months.

A big win for us bringing awareness to distracted driving. We need more states to adopt laws like this. While it's great to see and Legislative Change is one of our pillars we continue to address change through Awareness, Education, and Community Events.

Thank you to all who partner with the Robin Ames Foundation.
