Mark Neblett

---

Mark is the president of Make a Difference for Kids, Inc. He cofounded the organization after his 17-year old daughter, Rachael Neblett, a victim of cyberstalking, committed suicide October 9, 2006. Mark is strong advocate for antibullying legislation. He was instrumental in the passing of Kentucky's House Bill 91, known as the Bully Bill. He supported Attorney General Jack Conway's House Bill 367 which protects children from Internet predators and amends Kentucky's stalking statue to include cyberstalking. His efforts paid off April 15, 2008 when Govenor Beshear signed the Golden Rule Act (House Bill 91) into law. Mark continues to support HB 367. Whenever and wherever he can, he shares Rachael's story in hope that it will "make a difference" in another child's life. Mark is a certified trainer for QPR Gatekeeper Suicide Prevention. He is a member of the Kentucky Suicide Prevention Group, and a founding member of the Bullitt County Suicide Coalition. Mark was featured in a video produced for the Kentucky Suicide Prevention's 2008 "End the Silence" campaign and was honored to receive the 2008 Suicide Prevention Advocacy Kentucky (SPARK) award. Mark also serves on Kentucky's Juvenile Justice Advisory Board at the request of Govenor Beshear. Mark is a native of Okolona. He resides in Mt. Washington, Kentucky with his wife Donna, and daughter Peyton.
