Riding for Michael Millett
By Lulu
Sometimes you bikers amaze me! An event hosted by Sledz East in Deland was one of those days. A young boy, Michael Millett, was tragically killed by loose dogs in his neighborhood in front of his mother. In pursuit of justice for Michael, they went to Tallahassee to change laws to hold dog owners accountable for vicious attacks. A ride was held in his memory and over 400 motorcycles showed up. Most had no idea who Michael or his parents were; but let me tell you it warmed the hearts of the organizers of the ride and comforted his parents and family to know people shared in their grief!! Stops included Ike’s Saloon, Beaver Bar, Brass Rail, and the final stop was The Inn Between in Deland. Naughty, Naughty took the stage and rocked the afternoon away. Michael’s family, friends and even schoolmates were on hand at the last stop. A special thank you to the organizers, the parents for being with us that day, the bars who supported this, Ethan from the Inn Between for going the extra mile, the band, and finally to each and every one of you who CARED!!!!
