Of course, safety is no joke, but it's nice to take a moment every once in a while and see the lighter side. Here are some fun examples we found on Pinterest of "out-of-the-box" approaches to safety posters--maybe one will inspire a new idea for your organization!

In Your Community: Pioneers Go the Distance

In 2008, I began running as a way to stay fit and healthy. I never dreamed it would turn into so much more. After my husband passed away suddenly in 2010, I turned to running to find some peace of mind. It became my solace and offered me clarity. I can’t believe all the running goals I’ve accomplished; 2 full marathons, 8 half marathons and countless shorter races. Running has shaped my life not only physically but more importantly, mentally. I have a love and a passion for running that I want to share with others. They can take that feeling of accomplishment and pride from running and apply it in all areas of their lives.
