On Saturday, March 19, dozens of bikers gathered at Augusta Harley Davidson in memory of Kelsi Long, a child born stillborn due to Down’s Syndrome.
Michael Maddox, Kelsi’s grandfather and president of the Kelsi Long Memorial Foundation, organized the first memorial ride in 2003. Since then, there have been 13 rides that have raised more than $100,000 for children with Down syndrome and other special needs. All funds raised are donated to the Children’s Hospital of Georgia at Augusta University.
