Jane Allsup is the founder and director of The Legacy of Christopher Allsup Foundation, Inc. dedicated to promoting gasoline safety. Jane and her husband Scott raise Dexter cattle on their farm.
Jane is a mother of two boys. However, tragedy struck Jane’s life when her young son Christopher suffered burns from an old, outdated portable gasoline container explosion. Christopher succumbed to his injuries five hours later. Devastated, Jane channeled her grief into a tireless mission to prevent similar accidents from happening to others.
Since, this accident, Jane has worked to raise awareness about the dangers of outdated portable gasoline containers, the use of portable gasoline containers equipped with a flame arrestor, and educate about gasoline safety.
*The funds will go back into the foundation so we can continue to raise awareness.
