Today I was invited to attend a news conference at the Capital by Leslie Feuerborn of the Safe Kids Denver Metro Coalition. The mission of the Safe Kids Denver Metro Coalition is to identify and prevent injuries in children ages fourteen (14) and younger in the Denver Metro area, by using a combined program of education, research, advocacy, and media. Learn more about Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations whose mission is to prevent accidental childhood injury, a leading killer of children 14 and under. Safe Kids Denver Metro is led by The Children's Hospital.
An amazing group of passionate people who make up the Safe Kids Denver Metro Coalition. This organization means so much to me. You see, we were in a horrible wreck three years ago. I was told that my son who suffered a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain would have been dead if he had not been wearing a seat belt. More miraculous than that was that my youngest son was in a booster seat in spite of being six years old at the time and walked away without a scratch. I believe booster seats and seat belts save lives!
Governor Bill Ritter proclaimed this week to be Colorado Safe Kids week. Here is a picture of the proclamation.
Representative Sue Ryden spoke about her support of Senate Bill 296 which would make the current seat belt law stronger.
