Kiwanis Impact
Shaken, but not scratched
| |
I just wanted to take a moment to thank Kiwanis for protecting my child from what could have been a serious injury. On Saturday, May 19, Kiwanis gave out free bike helmets to the children of Oxford County, Maine. On Sunday, my five-year-old son took his bike down a hill and his wheel hit a rock. He and his bike went over an embankment and into the back side of a camper. The camper and my son’s helmet were both severely damaged. My son was a bit shaken up but did not receive a single scratch. I’m sure with the force he hit, had he not had the helmet, he would have been seriously injured. I cannot thank you enough for the work you are doing to protect our children.—Cheryl Cheever, Waterford, Maine |
