		Messages to you who have visited this homepage We, with MADD Programs, stood up to keep drinking drivers off the roads in Japan. “Please do not drink when you are driving.” Nobody thinks, “ such tragedy would happen to yourself.” I never knew this pain and sadness until I lost my second daughter, Mizuho, in the winter six years ago. She was killed by an impaired driver. I met MADD when I was grief-stricken and learned the meaning of having a second life. With many excellent programs, I will introduce MADD JAPAN’s activities to all over Japan toward “No Drunk Driving Society”. Please keep a close eye on (the birth of) our new missions to protect the precious lives. And we would always appreciate your kind and continued support to our activities. Thank you very much. Kazuyo Iida President of MADD JAPAN November, 2002.
