More than 150 motorcyclists plan on riding through St. Thomas, Ont., and the surrounding area Saturday in honour of Aiden Curtis, the 11-year-old boy who was killed in a crash last week.
A Ride for Aiden is planned to start at 10 a.m. Saturday, at the plaza at Highbury Avenue and Ron McNeil Line, with riders leaving at 11:15 a.m.
The ride is being put together by London Motorcycle Rides (LMR), a motorcycle enthusiast group.
Brent Hunter, one of the organizers for the ride and one of the heads of LMR, says the ride has a personal connection with the group.
“A number of our members are (from St. Thomas). It’s a community coming together to help, which is great to see,” he said.
“This (ride) was important to us; one of our members is the uncle to Aiden, so he came to the group and asked for us to step in and help.”
Hunter said cash donations for the family will be collected that morning. Additionally, LMR encouraged people to donate to the GoFundMe set up to support the family if they are interested.
The group will ride with a police escort through St. Thomas, passing the memorial site to Curtis before stopping at the Curtis family’s home to give them the donations collected.
