Amanda Umscheid

My name is Amanda and I have a story to tell… My 19 year old sister was killed May 16th, 2009 in a car accident. She was texting me when her truck entered the median. She over corrected and flipped end over end several times before being ejected. The guilt I feel everyday is a hard load to carry. I have felt the desire to get public education out there since her accident this year.

It is especially hard on my mom, not only because she lost a child but my sister’s accident happened the same day my dad passed away 9 years prior. I have been given opportunities to speak at high schools and universities in the Kansas/Missouri area (she was attending Kansas State University and a graduate of a Missouri High School).

I would like the opportunity to continue telling my sister’s story on a national level in the hopes we can save lives. If you are interested in having Amanda come speak at your school or event please contact her directly at mandobearcat@hotmail.com or call 816-517-4925.
