What does the "Arrive alive" message mean to you?
Promoting an initiative such as Arrive Alive is an excellent way to educate a large number of young people on a vital issue in society. Incorporating the message with the East Coast Challenge enables the athletes to think about issues, such as drink driving, before they occur on the numerous nights out after competitions
