Bikers gather to celebrate Sylvan Lake boy fighting rare disease

A bike rally was held in the parking lot by the library Thursday evening

Community members and motorcycle enthusiasts gathered together Thursday evening to support a young boy fighting a rare illness.

The bike rally was put together for the young boy who is undergoing surgery which could potentially leave him blind.

The hope is to give the boy a positive memory should such a fate befall him.

A procession of motorcycles made their way to the municipal parking lot by the library, Sept. 10, starting from Wal-Mart. The motorcycles were joined by some vintage vehicles, decorated pick-up trucks and larger trucks such as a garbage truck.
