We can’t do it without you. Your tax-deductible donation will go directly to saving the loss of children’s lives on our roads.
Thomas (Tom) Maxwell Davis McLaughlin was just four years old when he tragically died in a pedestrian-motor vehicle crash while on a family holiday in 2014.
Established in memory of Tom, the Little Blue Dinosaur Foundation (LBDF) is a not-for-profit organisation with one vision – zero child pedestrian fatalities on Australian roads.
At LBDF, we work tirelessly towards our vision by informing and championing education for how parents, caregivers and drivers can keep children safe around roads.
Since our establishment in 2014, LBDF has partnered with 68 Local Government Areas across Australia to install road safety signage that reminds communities about how to protect our youngest pedestrians.
“On average, one Australian child dies per week in a road fatality. It is the leading cause of death for our country’s children aged 1-14. Yet, it is almost entirely preventable”
