Haley Warner: On March 4th, 2013, my parents, Dave & Leslee Henson went on a morning walk on Dixie Drive in St George, UT and were hit by a car while walking on the sidewalk. The driver at fault was texting. My dad saved my mom's life by taking the full impact and shielding her from the car. He died on the scene. My mom barely survived. She is a miracle and we know she is meant to be here on earth. We hope that together we can save lives by educating teens AND adults on the dangers of distracted driving.
