Herndon Elementary School

Herndon Elementary School Herndon Injury Lawyer Doug Landau of ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. is doing his part to promote bicycle helmet use in kids. In his “Helmet a Day” campaign, Landau plans to give away 365 free helmets this year.

But it is much more than a helmet giveaway. An avid cyclist committed to promoting bike safety, Doug also teaches the kids about the dangers of biking without a helmet and the realities of traumatic brain injury. Together with the local police, he shows the kids the proper way to wear a helmet. Then he sends the children home with a free helmet and a safety information packet for their parents.

Mr. Landau along with his wife Melissa came and met with HES 6th graders. With the help of the Town of Herndon Mayor, Lisa Merkel, Town of Herndon Police and cyclist friends of Mr. and Mrs. Landau each 6th grade student received a bike helmet.
