Yesterday was a special day for Dan’s Foundation, his mum and our founder Fiona, and the book she wrote for parents, ‘I Wish I’d Known’. In the morning she was interviewed by presenter Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4s Woman’s Hour, and in the evening on Channel 5 News, talking about Dan, all she wishes she’d known before he died, and how parents can help their children understand and manage the risks of drugs better, and hopefully come home safely. Such an amazing opportunity to reach audiences full of parents, with homes full of teens and pre-teens, who really need to know all this stuff, and who may not know they need to know it.
Dan’s mum ended the interview with Channel 5 News saying, “I so, so, SO want this book to make the difference for parents that I wish it could have made for me seven years ago. I just wish I could have read this book before Dan went out that night.”
