WHEREAS, Terri Hoover of Dallas has helped promote public
safety through her endeavors as founder of Clickit4life; and
WHEREAS, Hoping to save parents from the heartache of losing
a child, Ms. Hoover founded Clickit4life in 2007 in memory of her
son, Jake, who died in an accident; the organization works
diligently to educate young people on the importance of safe
driving and wearing a seatbelt; and

Prevention, teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use and eight
Americans between the ages of 16 and 19 die in motor vehicle crashes
each day; Clickit4life seeks to make these statistics more real to
youngsters by collecting personal stories from the families of
victims, and the organization has placed memorial billboards around
the Dallas area to illustrate the need to buckle seatbelts and
exercise care on the roadways; and
WHEREAS, Those Texans who step forward to make their
communities safer are indeed worthy of the respect and admiration
of their fellow citizens, and through her leadership in
