Remembering Amy for a Reason

Over the past 4 years Remembering Amy for a Reason has been delivered by Amy Gillett’s mother, Mary Safe to over 14,000 school children across 235 schools in Australia.
The expanded program will reach more schools across Australia to help educate our current generation of bike riders who are also the future generation of motorists. Increased awareness about road safety and understanding responsibility at an early age, when delivered in an uplifting and age-relevant way has a deep and lasting effect.

Here's a Mount Barker Courier article as an example of what the children from the Hills Christian Community School in Adelaide learned from the presentation by Mary. 

Remembering Amy for a Reason is available to any school. For more information please email info@amygillett.org.au
