Don't overlook the good many bikers do
With all the media attention biker gangs in Waco, Texas, are getting, we need to remember that the great majority of bikers are top notch citizens who work hard to benefit our communities.
The work that EAO (Elgin Area Organization of Motorcycle Riders) does by holding the Little Angels Pledge Run is a great example. On May 17, this event raised nearly $100,000 for the Little Angels Center for Exceptional Care in Elgin.
Over 28 years, their run has produced nearly $5 million to benefit the disabled children and young adults at Little Angels. Their hard work and loyalty to helping our kids should be getting more publicity than the bad apples in Texas.
