An army of motorcycles roared into downtown Oxford Sunday to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and support our troops.
More than 300 bikes participated in the 7th Annual 9-11 Memorial Run raising approximately $9,000 for Operation Care Package Michigan and the Billy Lake Cancer Fund.
Operation Care Package Michigan is a Lapeer-based group that supports U.S. troops stationed overseas by sending letters and care packages.
The Billy Lake Cancer Fund is named for a 44-year-old New York City firefighter who died in the attack on the World Trade Center.
Riders paid $25 per bike to go on what’s known as a poker run, which took them on a 105-mile trip from Oxford to Fostoria, Capac and Almont, then back to Oxford.
