Make A Difference Minute: A Legacy that Saves Lives

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Julie Garner, founder of Project Yellow Light, as she shares the heartbreaking story that inspired a national movement for safe driving. In 2007, Julie's 16-year-old son, Hunter, was killed in a car crash. In the midst of unimaginable grief, Julie, her husband, and their daughter made the decision to honor Hunter's memory by helping protect other young drivers. What began as a family's response to tragedy has grown into Project Yellow Light, a nationwide campaign raising awareness about distracted driving. Julie says many young drivers simply don't realize how dangerous driving can be. Some even believe being able to text while driving makes them a "good driver." Her message is clear and simple: when you're behind the wheel, put the phone away and focus on driving. Because no text message, social media post, or notification is worth a life.
