Why StopDistractions Was Created: A Phone Call Killed My Mother He was on the phone for less than a minute.
That’s all it took.
A movement born from the loss of a mother in a preventable crash. It's the drunk driving of our time.
And we can stop it.

Shelley didn’t just lose her daughter Erica to distracted driving. She turned that loss into a national movement by helping establish National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
