Flashlites for Pedestrians & biker

Donation protected
Pedestrian/bicyclist fatalites are mostly avoidable. Where I live in Tampa, FL they continue.  My sister Shelly A Thomas whas killed 7-25-2012 about 9:45PM  in Gainesville FL by a truck as she crossed on foot HWY 441 to go to a grocery.  I do not know if having a flashlight would have saved her life.  I do know I have almost been run over several times as I walked my dogs without one.  I started carrying one before my sister died.  Last year I bought 111 quality Cree 300 lumen flashights at a wholesale seller.  I enjoyed giving flashlights out to pedestrians and sharing the story of my sister.  I cannot help but think how much flashlights will help pedestrians be seen and possibly save some lives.  I would apprecite these funds so I can order 130 of these same model  flashlights and batteries and 8 other  flashlights to try out with recharge kits, and give those away too.  I would like to start this campaign soon becaouse the days are shorter.  I have some handlebar mounts already purchased to give away for bicyclists.  This just seems to be a simple, inexpensive safety feature to offer to pedestrians and bicyclists. Thank you for your help.
