The Campaign to Stop Window Falls grew out of concern by injury prevention specialists who were seeing a high number of children entering the trauma system in Oregon from falling out of second-story windows during warm weather. While relatively few children die from this, one child, Parker Reck, died in 2009. My son, who I miss every second of everyday. This campaign is dedicated to the memory of Parker.

Up Date....
Things are moving right along....Meeting with the editor went great, the artticle should be coming out this week. Speaking at city council went wonderful. Everyone seemed to be very supportive. Sandy did a great job with radio Disney and her interview should be airing some time during window fall prevention week and we should have a link from http://www.stopat4.com/. Koin 6 has us on their agenda for Tuesday the 5th. They are coming to Molalla to flim our fire fighters passing out brochures and clings to people in the community, the Hardware store in town who stocks the window stops(being the first retail store in Oregon to do so) and the Mayor of Molalla signing a proclamation to support our campaign and challenge every town in Oregon to follow Molalla's example. This will take place at the Rotary meeting on the 5th at our public library. The Rotary club of Molalla has been wonderful and I am so thankful for their time and service. Sandy and I are doing a radio interview with Handyman Bob on April 2nd. I can't believe how far we have come since the beginning of all of this and I can't wait to see how far we go.
