This is the road safety presentation your students must hear!

At our presentation, your students will hear our very personal and true-life story. We will talk about the two separate car crashes that have devastated our family, and how those crashes took the lives of two 18-year-olds; one being our youngest daughter Carmen.

When I was seriously injured in a fatal car crash in 1993 at age 42, our family didn't think that things could get much worse. But two and a half years later, Carmen, our 18-year-old youngest daughter was killed in a car crash.

You will hear how Carmen's death affected our family, our friends and Carmen's friends, and although it is emotionally draining for us, we share our lives with you, so that you can understand what we went through at the time, and how we now cope without Carmen.
