With a Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and state lawmakers joining the cause, EndDD.org reached out to drivers and their passengers in Delaware and Pennsylvania, especially teenagers, with an urgent and life-saving warning to change their driving habits and stop driving distracted.
“This past weekend, on April 6, we celebrated my daughter Casey’s 25th birthday. But Casey wasn’t there. She was killed in 2009 by a distracted driver, a 58-year-old man behind the wheel of a van. He took his eyes off the road for just a few seconds. Pink was Casey’s favorite color, so we released pink balloons in her memory….” Read the post of Casey’s father, Joel Feldman, founder of EndDD.org on the U.S. DOT site.
The EndDD campaign has been taken to Massachusetts and kicked off at the State Capital in a press conference
From opposite ends of the country, 21-year-old Casey Feldman and 18-year-old Kassy Kerfoot would never know their Moms would meet in Idaho to become allies in a life-saving campaign.
While Joel Feldman and other volunteers have given dozens of EndDD.org distracted driving presentations at PA high schools over the past year, the Pennsylvania Association of Justice (PAJ) declared their decision to come on board at Joel’s presentation on Feb. 15, 2013 at The Church Farm School in Exton.
All of us here at The Casey Feldman Foundation and EndDD are thrilled that commissioners in Montgomery County, PA passed a resolution declaring next week Distracted Driving Awareness Week (April 9-15th).
