Hug your kids, and please put a bike helmet on them...

I'm still recovering from my computer crash, but wanted to share some very sad news I feel I must. A fellow photographer friend of mine, had a horrible loss recently in her family. Her nephew Luke, who was 11 yrs old, was in a bicycle accident on July 5th, and died a few days ago from the head injuries he sustained. He lost control of his bike and went headfirst into a light pole.


While we will never know for sure if a helmet would have saved Luke's life, it certainly would have made his injuries less severe. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers, and please, please, let his death help you remember to have your children wear bike helmets. Thanks,
Mary
