This has nothing to do with fitness but I wanted to share this with you all..
This is a story of local family from about 20 miles where I live. Monday March 21st. had been named National Dont text and Drive day. Please check out their story if you have time.. it really is worth looking at.

    I saw their story on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

    I have signed their pledge and will never text & drive. It's just not worth it.

    Please everyone, don't become a statistic. DNT TXT N DRV

    Thanks for posting this! I'm so passionate about this issue, people REALLY don't get it! Then on my sons birthday, my younger sons friends dad was hit and killed while walking across the street by a 19 year old texting! It's sooo sad! And shouldn't be happening at all. People need to put their phones down long enough to drive, really there is nothing more important than being fully focused while driving.

    This is such an important message to get out there. All it takes is one split second. We were given a second chance with our child because a teen driver was NOT on their cell. I do not think anyone out there can truly say that there life will be over if they don't answer their cell .... can you say the same is true if you do answer?

    Never have, never will text while driving. It's just plain stupid.
