Libby Ruge (pictured) was 19 when she died
The friends of a teenage dental assistant and model who was hit and killed by a car while walking with her boyfriend have started an inspiring foundation in her name.
Aspiring dentist Libby Ruge, 19, was run over on Flinders Street in Wollongong about 10.30pm on November 7 when a Toyota Camry allegedly mounted the kerb and ploughed into the young couple and their two friends.
She died on the scene while her boyfriend Luke Day, 20, was unscathed and their two friends, Tye West and Eva Harrison, only sustained minor injuries.
In honour of their kind daughter, Ms Ruge s mothers Jules and Julie have started the Bee Kind Like Libby foundation, which funds dental rehabilitations.

He smashed his initial target of £200 after just five days, and is now just focussed on using the remainder of his challenge to raise as much money as possible for a worthy cause.
Accompanied by his mum, the seven-year-old has been dressing up to walk through the town in the middle of the day.
The timings have changed as Lucas, like all other school-age children, is no longer learning from home, but he has still been able to continue his challenge by walking after school instead.
