ATTENTION ALL OF MY BIKER FRIENDS. I NEED YOUR HELP JUNE 26th at 7:15pm meet at Clarke road secondary school A young man named Channing is graduating grade 8 and he has had one of the most severe cases of bullying I’ve seen a kid deal with because of his physical and mental abilities. It would mean the world to him family to have a parking lot of support as he walks out of the school with his peers and let them all see what family and friends are all about. I offered to try and rally the troops in the motorcycle community. If you can share and spread the word for me it’s going to be a hope you can show up in forces for this kid.
Send me a message if you can rally some bikes for me who can commit to 30 minutes that would last a lifetime !
June 26th meeting at Clarke road secondary school by 7:15pm he should be done and exiting the building around 7:30 shortly after. See pics for details.

Steve Boudah Boyle hey, I really needed to pull myself together after reading this before I could fully respond! I appreciate so much that you love us enough to set out and seek this for Channing!
Channing was Born with Williams Syndrome! He was diagnosed at 11 months old and we've never used it as an excuse or crutch! We moved to Argyle area and he enrolled into Lord Nelson in grade 2! He has mostly always had good teachers who kept an eye on him, but this year, his teacher has fallen short! The type of teacher that is best suited for the "cool" kids... doesn't go well with the "special" kids... to the point that in an email recently he told me "I don't really know Channing as he is one of my 27 children". How gross!!!
Channing has been in fist fights and been called many names... he does not get invited to play outside at recess so his lunch break all year is spent with the school staff.
Channing, along with anyone who has Williams Syndrome becomes fixated on things and have "staring" issues... where they look, long and don't break easily. We as his parents have been working on this over the years and trying to get him to understand it can and will cause issues... it now, does. Kids are saying horrible things because he's noticing the girls at school. Which is now making him a target. We have Channing in with councilor and as parents we keep open conversations about this behavior in hopes we can curve it.
This among other things but because it's widely on the internet, I don't want to share more...
Otherwise, Channing is an awesome little & big brother! He's incredibly helpful at home and like all other humans, deserves to be loved and supported.
We do not have much family support and love. This is why we collectively are looking for support outside of our close ones.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this and are responding with support.
Channing is a really good kid!!! I am so excited for him.
Also, he rode on a bike for the first time this year and he was in his glory!!!
