What prompted me? I felt a desire to show that even those these adults lose their children they still love children and want to help anyone they can. They didn't want more children to follow in the footsteps of their own. They hoped that they could lead by example.

More than anything, Charles and Katherine wanted to give something to the community that wasn't there for their teenagers. They wanted to avoid more situations similar to the ones that surrounded their children's deaths.

Their motivation was that if they could save just one life, all their hard work and dedication to their cause would have been worth it.

Peace!
