Less Tears...More Years Our BeginningThe Less Tears...More Years™ Campaign was born out of tragedy when two Pottsboro, Texas high school teens were killed in seperate automobile accidents only 30 days apart. Shelby Johnson lost her life as she was on her way to school on May 15, 2007 and Jordan Onstott was lost on June 15, 2007 as she was the passenger in a car driven by another teen on her way home from a date. Both girls were friends and vibrant personalities with such bright futures. It was then that the Less Tears...More Years™ Campaign was formed and made its committment to Education and Awareness, Road Safety, and Drivers Education Reform.
