On the afternoon of April 1, 2001,
while returning from a competition, an admired
agility competitor and dog
enthusiast died in a tragic auto accident when the
driver of her vehicle fell asleep
at the wheel. Out of this terrible, and
preventable,
tragedy emerged the LRA Campaign,
which is a volunteer-driven organization
committed to raising awareness of
the importance of driving alert and rested.
The Live to Run Again Campaign was founded and launched by
Tail Blazers
Agility Club in memory of Jane Callaghy, one of its founding
members. The Campaign
is now a non-profit organization in Pennsylvania dedicated
to national public education
about drowsy driving.
LRA is a 501(c)(3) public charity that is tax exempt and
able to receive tax-deductible donations back to August 5,
2002.
Where does the money raised go?
Since this a volunteer based organization every
dollar raised is committed to saving
lives through education.
Your contribution and support of the Live to Run Again
campaign helps pay for:
·
Printing and distribution of educational materials about the
common
warning
signs of drowsy driving and steps to take to prevent a fall-asleep
accident.
bearing the LRA slogan, to keep our
message within view of drivers,
reminding them to stay awake in order to
“live to run again.”
