He gathered a group of 126 bikers to accompany his niece Chloe to her prom
“It was a big shock when we heard the engines and all the bikers turned up” Chloe said
“I wasn’t expecting that many but it made me feel supported and confident”
Chloe has been bullied and attacked as her peers nit-picked the way she looked and talked
However, she says that this act of kindness has inspired her

And sent a powerful message that what bullies say doesn’t define you
And it was truly one hell of a sight as 127 bikers drove past the building
“It was an indescribable moment – my friends all ran up and said ‘wow, that was an entrance’.”
Chloe wasn’t the only person that had such an entourage
