Sunday, August 30 brought out the best in Biker compassion as Daisy’s Run was held in memory of a little girl who passed on last year while SML and Roanoke area chapters were trying to help her. Below are remarks from her mom, Kristen Gilmer. Note- The final donation was $1000.

“If you were in Vinton today and heard/saw about 65+ motorcycles, that was all for my sweet Daisy girl Star City Abate of VA, Backroads, Halesford, Mt Thunder, Empty Tomb, Star City Soldiers, Noke Riders RC and individual riders all came together to ride for Daisy. Together, they raised $964 for us to Donate to ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation in Daisy’s honor so that one day there will hopefully be a cure for this terrible cancer.

The amount of love and support that we have received from these groups for the past year has touched all of our hearts. They think about Daisy still, were impacted by her and continue ride in memory of her! We are grateful for each and every one of them!”
