Rosie believes the Foundation is based on a universal fact – one that people tend to forget. Every time we get into a car we are at risk.
That fact has become more important and relevant because she is now driving her grandchildren on a daily basis. She wants them to grow into wonderful adults without injuries caused by a car crash. She also wants them to be good, safe and aware drivers when they get behind the wheel of their own car.
In her professional life Rosie worked as a fundraiser. She is a regular donor and is philanthropic by nature, she hopes to bring these qualities to the Board to assist the Foundation to achieve its goals.
Dr Seuss is one of her favourite philosophers. He said "Unless someone like you cares whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not.” ~ Dr Seuss

Road safety is at the core of what Brad instills into his business as he assists drivers with a disability maintain or regain their driver’s licence.

I have been involved in Driver Training and Testing for over 30 years and I am very keen to add my experience to the Get Home Safe Foundation in any way I can.
When I see the tragic waste caused by road accidents, I think anything we can do to reduce that has got to be worthwhile.
