On September 19, 2016, Mitchel Kiefer was tragically killed in an auto accident caused by a distracted driver. As we approach the fourth anniversary of this horrific event, the Kiefer family and supporters of The Kiefer Foundation will be biking to remember Mitchel and raise funds and awareness to end distracted driving.
During the month of September, members of Team Kiefer will each be committing to riding our bicycles 100 miles, wherever and whenever it works best, to raise awareness of the dangers of distracted driving. Bicyclists and pedestrians were involved in 1.2% of traffic crashes, yet represented 17% of fatalities in 2018 – a disproportionately high number compared to drivers. We know that distracted driving is a major cause of many of these crashes. The Kiefer Foundation is working with LMB to bring an end to distracted driving.
We'll be sharing pics of our adventures along the way, and we hope you'll join us on this journey!
All funds raised by Team Kiefer will be equally shared with our partners at the League of Michigan Bicyclists, and benefit our mission to end distracted driving.
How can you help?
DONATE: Make a donation to honor Mitchel and further The Kiefer Foundation's three pillars: Awareness, Policy, and Technology.
*** PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING CORPORATE DONATIONS AT THIS TIME.
