If you have to drink or do drugs, do yourself and other drivers a favor and don't drive.
I used to party hard, everything from beer and mixed drinks to pot and drugs. And although I didn't drive when I was messed up, I rode around with people who were. I guess you could say, I was one of the lucky ones, because I was never in an accident.
Kim wasn't so lucky.
Kim Cook, was just 14, had just battled cancer and won the fight. She wasn't on drugs, drinking, or even in a car. She was simply walking through a yard with a couple of friends when a drunk driver came barreling off the highway and into her path.
The only thing Kim had time to do was push her friends out of the way. She was like that, you know. She always wanted to serve in the Army. That day she took the front lines.
But it was a senseless war for such a young girl to fight, especially if we continue to let others like Kim and her family suffer in vain.
Maybe you're not the drunk driver, maybe you don't even do drugs, but maybe you know of someone who does. If you don't stop them from driving when they're messed up on alcohol and drugs, you could be causing another innocent life, like Kim's, to be snatched away forever.
So, why not join together with us and save lives this holiday season.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT ANOTHER DRUNK/DRUGGED DRIVING TRAGEDY:
-Offer to drive the messed up person home or ask someone else to
-Hide their keys
-Call a cab for them
-If they're really messed up and out of hand call 9-1-1 (Even though you don't want your friend to spend the night in jail, one night is better than a lifetime of regrets--besides you're not only saving their lives, you're saving other innocent victims!)
Remember, to think before your drink and drive.
