Starting Eyes on the Road for Koby came from a place of deep grief, but also a strong need to create something meaningful in the midst of loss. Ten months after losing Koby, I found myself searching for a way to make a difference.

​

In November 2022, I committed to running 3km every day for the entire month. What started as a personal challenge quickly became something more. With every run, I carried not only my own grief, but the weight of knowing that too many other young lives were being lost on our local roads.

​

Through this challenge, Eyes on the Road for Koby was born. It became a way to raise awareness, start conversations, and honour Koby in a way that could make a difference. Along the way, I was also able to raise funds, which were donated to the Australian Road Safety Foundation, supporting their ongoing work in road safety and prevention.

​

What began as one small step each day turned into something much bigger—a reminder that even in the hardest moments, there is always a way to create impact. Eyes on the Road for Koby continues to stand for awareness, change, and the hope that fewer families will have to experience the same loss.
