Talked with Keri Morrison, Executive Director and Elizabeth Dashiell, from Live Like Jake.  Live Like Jake is a charity that was created to increase awareness for drowning prevention and provide swim lessons and scholarships for those who can't afford them.  They also provide financial and emotional support for families who have lost a child or who's child has critical care needs.  Drowning is the number one cause of death for babies and young children between 1 and 4 years old.  Families can sign their kids up for ISR swim lessons to teach them infant swimming resource where they learn to roll on their back.  The number one layer of protection is active adult supervision of kids near water.  There are 5 layers of protection, including alarms on windows/doors, locked doors/windows, pool fences, CPR, bright colored clothes, etc.  Listeners can find out more online at www.livelikejake.org  Live Like Jake raises money for scholarships by doing events throughout the year.  They just had their annual 5K, and are doing Watermelons for Water Safety throughout the Summer.  Listeners can also follow them on Facebook, Instagram.  They have their gala coming up in the Fall and poker for prevention in August.  Folks can become sponsors and get details www.likelikejake.org
