I am determined to do anything I an to try and prevent another good samaritan from suffering the same fate. On a mission to make waterways safer so that when someone is in distress in the water, whether by a car going into a bed of water or if someone falls in and is not able to get out, my goal is to get a life ring in every city and by ever bed of water possible. For many years, life rings have proven to save lives, they just have to be availalbe to be used to be effectivel The benefit of having a fife ring by beds of water is that a would be rescuer does not have to go Into the water and put their own life at risk trying to save the life of someone else. It is a known fact that when someone is in the water and panicking, they an in their struggle to survive, drown even the best swimmer. This is why when a life guard does a rescue, they present their Rotation device to the victim to hold onto first while rescuing them. Through a generous donation made to the Aden Perry Good Samaritan and Scholarship Fund and a commitment with Datrex, the Manufacturer of the life rings, we are using life rings with my son's Image and hero message on them as a way to help prevent future drownings. Living in South Florida, we are surrounded with water; in our parks, communities, HOA's and along many roadways. Accidents WILL continue to happen ... it's just a matter of when and where the next one will be. There HAS to be something available and ready to be used so that lives can saved. LIFE RINGS are the answer) ll They are easy to install, easy to implement, easy to use and inexpensive) ll My son died a hero and recently received medal of valors for his actions and most recently Aden was named as a recipient of the Umegie Hero Award.
