If you were hurt out exercising, would anyone know who you are?

It has been a sad week here in Elk Grove, CA as we lost one of our core runners. She was hit a killed by a car less than 1/2 mile from her home while in the cross walk. The exact details are not out yet.

When the medics showed on the scene, they did not know who she was and it took time to figure out who she was and contact her family.

This would not have been the case if she had identification with her.

If you (or a family member/friend) run, cycle, walk, or even play basketball down at the local park, get id.

The one I use is Road ID (yahoo or google it) which is similar to those old medical braclets I saw as a kid. They are cheap and if something does happen, then the medics will know who you are and be better able to help you.

I have done this for my family. Please go and do it for yours.

Good idea..and I would never have thought about it...I'm sorry for the community's loss, it's really sad to lose those we love.

Michael - SO Sad!  The Road ID is a GREAT idea and everyone who exercises outside (I don't, so I'm safe!) should have one.....

Sharon.   These make a great gift idea for those you love who might be out and about even if you do not need one.
