Late Teen Becomes an inspiration as she saves a life at the expense of hers!

After Rebecca Townsend saved her friend from bearing the brunt of the car crash that killed her, the 17-year-old’s family found her bucket list that included, “Save a life.”In her sophomore year of high school, Rebecca Townsend was given the assignment to write down a bucket list of what she wanted to accomplish in life. Her note is going viral online now in the wake of her death, after the 17-year-old was hit by a car in Danbury, Conn. on July 2 while crossing the street with friend Ben Arne, also 17. She saved her friend’s life by pushing him out of the way of an oncoming vehicle, and in doing so sacrificed her own life.” 

“She had written down a 3-point bucket list: #1 Go to Spain. #2. Kiss in the rain. #3. Save a life,” her cousin Rachel Hofstetter writes on Facebook. “Over the next few years, she crossed #1 and 2 off her list. And on July 2nd, she crossed #3 of her list. The Brookfield, Conn. high school grad, who was to begin college at Notre Dame University in the fall, was revealed as a hero after Arne was released from the hospital. Rebecca’s sister Victoria toldBuzzfeed that he visited their family and told them that Rebecca had saved his life.
