Red Means Stop
By Frank Hinds, Executive Director
Jennifer HindsThis will be our fifteenth Christmas without Jennifer. It's really hard to believe nearly fifteen years have gone by since that awful day in March when our safe, normal family experienced the worst fate imaginable - the death of a child.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Even though the events happened a long time ago, I replay them over and over again in my mind on a fairly regular basis, with the same clarity. The people, the conversations, the disbelief.
No amount of time will repair the hole in my heart or ease the sadness I feel when I remember the child she was or think of the adult she could have been.
I know our family doesn't have a corner on the market for grief due to tragic red light running crashes; hundreds of families face a similar fate every year throughout our country. The real tragedy is that these deaths are preventable and families shouldn't have to suffer.
Responsible driving behavior continues to be ignored and innocent people are dying on our roadways because of it. We all need to focus our attention in the coming year to reducing the causes of red light running - reminding drivers of the serious and deadly consequences of their actions. Get involved; help the victims and volunteers of Red Means Stop achieve our goals. Contact us at (480)305-7900 or on the web at www.redmeansstop.org
