Omaha Keep Kids Alive Drive 25

The national campaign , Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 started in Omaha over 17 years ago. 

Tom Everson, President is our speaker today.   

FiFirst step is trying to be part of the solution. 29% of accidents are from lack of space management. This is driven by the use of cell phones. Cell phone use is distracting, creates tunnel vision and causes accidents. 
Signage and garbage can stickers help with community awareness and documented studies show speeds reduce. 
April 18 is the walk/run to honor people injured in traffic accidents. Happens on Omaha on the Papio trail. 
Live Forward and Run to Remember. A run that Tom participates in that runs to the top of Pikes Peak. 
Thanks Tom for the great info.
