The Problem

In May of 2005, my 14th Month old daughter Madison was killed in a back over accident by another parent at her daycare, the driver could not see my daughter in the blind zone of her large suburban. Since Madison's death I formed the MFC Foundation, "Montanans for Children Foundation" With the main goal to help in bettering the lives of Children by supporting legislation that aims to keep children safe and educate parents and new drivers on the dangers there children face in and around vehicles. Have spoke to drivers education students, speaking of my daughters accident, hoping to prevent others. Have plans to speak to numerous schools in the coming 2007-2008 school year in Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. Also have gained the support of all congressman in Montana, for the support of Senate bill 694, the Kids and Cars safety act. Hope to countinue to educate young drivers of the dangers young children face around cars, by giving speeches to drivers education students and parents alike.
