CINCINNATI (FOX19) - On Friday, The Seven Hills School's Madisonville location will welcome Johnny Mac and Jeanne Brown, parents of Alex Brown, a 17-year-old high school senior who died in a car crash in Texas in 2009 when she was texting while driving.

The family travels the country to tell the story of their daughter’s accident and teach teenagers about the dangers of distracted driving. To add memorable impact for students in attendance, the Browns will bring the truck Alex was driving when she wrecked. They have traveled to 26 states speaking to teens and appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show. 

While in Cincinnati previously, the Browns visited eight area schools urging teens in our community to sign a pledge committing to avoiding texting while driving. At Seven Hills, the Browns will speak with nearly 300 students in grades nine through 12.
