I can still hear her voice ringing in my ears – “Tell me where you are going, and when you’ll be back!” For some reason I always used to resent my mother wanting to know every detail of my solitary running and cycling endeavours when I was growing up. As I got older, I began to realise that just maybe my mother was right (at least some of the time). In this case she was spot on. The only thing missing in those days was identification. It seems like such a simple no-brainer. If you are doing something where you have the potential for accidents or injury and there is no one else around who is accountable for you, you need to have a form of identity. IdMe gives me (and my mother, and now wife and kids) the satisfaction in knowing that I can always be identified. |

I started running about 9 years ago soon after my son was born. Initially it was somewhat of a standing joke that I was totally uncontactable when I was out on the road for several hours. My wife was always concerned when I was late coming home that something sinister had happened. Roughly a year later I took up ironman distance triathlon and it suddenly struck me: my wife had been right all along (not that there was ever any doubt). What might happen if I was out by myself on a five or six hour ride and I was struck by a truck? IdMe seemed to be the perfect way to have a voice in critical times when without it your silence, either voluntary or involuntary, might be fatal. My wife is far happier these days knowing that, when I leave the house before sunrise to head to some point several hours away, in the unfortunate event that she might need to be contacted, the information is engraved on my IdMe wrist band or foot strap for all to see. It is comforting to know that all the people who might need to be contacted will be contacted irrespective of whether or not I have the capacity at the time to recall this vital information. Thanks to IdMe, we all now have peace of mind. |
