Free bike helmets for kids

This is from Mary Shedden, the Tampa Tribune’s 4You Health Reporter:
Kids planning to ride a bicycle to school can get a free bike helmet from the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida.
Head injuries are a leading cause of epilepsy and seizure orders. An estimated 42,000 people a year die from seizure-related injuries.
The program is supported by a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation, which estimates that every $1 spent on helmets saves a person $30 in health care costs.
For information about the free safety helmet, call 1-877-53EPILEPSY, or visit www.epilepsy.org.
