Regan Martin is an inspiration to all of us! Please show your support and attend hearing on Monday, November 17, 2008 in Will County

I am asked daily by many people; "Alexis what can I really do to help make a difference in the life of a victim of crime- I am only an average person?".. You can do a lot - remember its the simple things that matter most to victims of crime.

Because Regan Martin chose to courageously share her story she has inspired millions of men and women across the nation to become involved and to help make a difference!

2.) Send in letters to the editor to the Chicago Tribune thanking them for reporting this story as without reporters like Megan Twohey victims like Regan Martin remain invisible and become "just another case" or another piece of paper for prosecutors and judges to process! Send in your letter to the editor of the Chicago Tribune today thanking them for supporting domestic violence victims and for supporting Regan Martin and her family - and ask your friends and relatives to do the same!

3) Donate! You can help to be sure that Regan Martin's children receive a quality education by donating to the family. Fighting for justice takes its toll on a victim and their family financially, physically and emotionally!
