Save a life, Dont text & drive...

On the 4th of December 2012 my friend Brooke Richardson was tragicly taken.
She was only 20 years old and had a bright future in front of her until she made the mistake of texting while driving.
She was the kind of girl who could light up any room, she had the most amazing sense of humour and could make you laugh about almost anything, she even made me laugh about my Cancer when i first got diagnosed.
She always put others before herself, had a heart of gold & a smile that could brighten your day.
When i first met Brooke she took 4 hours to dye and cut my hair because we spent the whole day laughing and joking.
I remember when i first told Brooke about my Cancer, she was the first person that didnt give me that "aww poor you look" all she did was give em a hug and tell me im strong and will beat it.
The next time i seen her she told me she had googled my Cancer and was excited to tell me the ribbon for it is orange and thats her favourite colour.
When i first told her about my new fitness kick when i started my weight loss journey, she was very proud i could see that, she would occasionally just turn up where i was working out just so i had someone to workout with.
She was a beautiful girl and a wonderful friend and i will miss her dearly.

Her parents have started a campaign to raise awareness & stop people texting and driving.
