Remember Alex Brown


Sportswoman Emma Roberts provided the awards show with glamour and joined Justin Bieber, Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle appearing on ABC Sunday’s "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in the honor of the ‘Remember Alex Brown Foundation’, which is a nonprofit organization made after Alexandra Brown (17) get her truck rolled and she was died on her way to her school; because, she was texting while driving.
After being acknowledged that her daughter Alexandra Brown had not reached to school due to this accident, Alex's mother Jeannie went to find the wrecked truck. According to Jeannie, "The cell phone on which she had sent and receives over 10,000 text messages in the weeks preceding her accident was with her."

Their home was rebuilded which was now occupied by remaining three family members including Jeanne (her mother), Johnny Mac, and Katrina (sister) a year after the death of Alex. 
This family had decided to start the ‘Remember Alex Brown Foundation’ on the day when she died. Her father has decided that in the hospital that day. He says, "We have to put the truck on a trailer and we have to go to schools and tell people about the dangers of texting and driving."
Ty Pennington said, "She's an incredible young actress, and she is a teen so she understands how big of an epidemic texting and driving is."

Roberts also thinks after hearing Alex's story that texting and driving together is really a very big problem and alex’s story is a wake-up call to every teenager or every person. He has a nine year old sister and according to him he can’t even imagine of losing her ever.
