Patrick Reynnolds is the founding father of Red Ribbon Week. The reason Mr. Reynolds started Red Ribbon Week was because,         Mr. Reynolds father and eldest brother died from smoking. Patrick R. talks to audiences about how his tabacco free has made great progress. One of Mr. Reynolds quotes is,” When though moments come, and they will, don’t escape by using tabacco, drugs, alcohol, or even food, music, or work, like many adults do.” Did you know that 1 out of 3 people are addicted to drugs and tabacco? As a result of drugs 5 MILLION people have died because they think they cant get off of it, but they can, anyone can! STAY ALERT AND AWAY FROM DRUGS!
