Paul Stanley

Paul Stanley’s 15 year old Matthew was bashed at a party in 2006 and died of his injuries the next day.

After an outpouring of grief following Matthew’s death, Paul & wife Kay Stanley formed the Matthew Stanley Foundation to reduce the likelihood of any other families having to endure their pain.

Since then Paul has spoken to over 150,000 School Students in Qld and Nth NSW over the past 6 1/2 years about the dangers of street violence. He works closely with the Qld Government, Qld Police Service, Qld Dept of Education and recently was a finalist in the Australian of the Year (Qld Senior).

Paul also been appointed Rotary Internationals prestigious Paul Harris Fellow award and became Life Education Queensland Children’s Champion.

Paul tells a personal account of his tragedy at each of the No Second Chance presentations and when he has finished his incredibly brave presentation, there is seldom a dry eye in the house.
