IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE TO ALL PARENTS |
 |

This is a short and quick reminder to all parents of children who ride push bikes and skate-boards. Please remind your children to wear their safety helmets/stack hats.
Recently a local young member of our community was skate-boarding down a hill without a helmet. He crashed and hit his
head on the pavement. Twelve hours later he died in hostpital of critical head injuries. If only he wore his helmet. .
Please remind your kids to wear their helmet. Every time you see them, remind them.
I know it's easy when they are young and we are always supervising. Then the day will come when they are riding on their own with their mates and that's when they need to be reminded to wear their hat.
So please pass this message to your teenagers. Tell them to think of their mother before they take off their helmet. Think of their mother who gave birth to them, nursed them and watched them grow before deciding that they are too cool to wear a helmet. And think of their mother before they hop on a skateboard or a bmx just for a quick trick without wearing their helmet. Not only your mother, but your father, who has watched over proudly as you grew, your brothers, sisters and mates also.
It only takes one small, careless moment and many long year of pain and grief.
