Arms of Life

The purpose of the Jake and Travis Arms of Life Fund is to honor the lives of Jake and Travis Findley and insure that another tragic accident like this does not happen to our community again.  Jake and Travis lost their lives on February 3, 2007 when the SUV they were riding in was hit by a train on Stones Crossing Road in Greenwood, Indiana.  This crossing does not have cross arms or flashing lights to warn drivers of oncoming trains
