The three video clips took a great deal of strength to put together from Sam, Kym and Andrew and if it does not bring the message home of the after effects of a fatal crash on family and friends, then view them again because these people are not actors and not working from a script. The comments feelings and message are their story
Please consider others when you are on the road on your motorcycle being mindful of other road users and arrive home safe, be here for life.
I would like to personally thank Sam, Kym and Andrew for sharing their stories that took unbelievable strength to do that, thank you.
