Julia Haber wants self defense taught at high schools--

Last year Julia Haber of Edgemont organized a fundraiser TO KEEP HOPE ALIVE - a mission to find the missing Edgemont teenager, Lauren Speirer (see link below--News 12 story). Now Julia Haber is taking the cause to the next level.  She wants to bring self defense classes to all high schools in Westchester. For the contest she has to come up with a video on Instagram, which is a social media application, to publicize the idea. Essentially, the contestant who receives the most likes on the video wins the contest--which includes a $10,000 grant to implement the idea.

To show your support, all you need to do is make an Instagram account, which is an easily downloadable application for all smartphones, and go to the link listed below. Click "like" and please share this with all your friends and family.
