positivity and smiles to everyone that she saw and spoke to.

The event started at Rick’s Cycle in Whittier. The weather that day couldn’t have been better. There was a total of 55 bikes that participated. The ride departed Rick’s, went through Cherokee to the Blue Ridge Parkway, then took a pit stop on the parkway at Water rock Knob. After a short break, the ride then continued to Balsam, then to the Blazing Skeleton’s clubhouse. Kyra was in the front of the line of bikes on the back of her Grandpa’s bike. Riding behind her, I watched her raise her arms and tilt her head back as if she was flying. She was enjoying the ride. She is such an inspiration to many.

Once everyone was settled at the clubhouse, food and live music was provided. They had some awesome auction and raffle items as well. The total raised that day for Kyra and her family was $3,312.00. Once again, the biker community rocked and showed compassion and love for a family in need.
