NORFOLK, Va. - The earth shook as dozens of Harleys pulled into Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital in Norfolk this past Sunday morning.
Once a year for the past two decades, this group rides with a purpose: To raise money for kids who are severely disabled who make their home at the hospital.
The ringleader of this effort is Jo Ann Emmons, a Harley rider who has a very personal reason for wanting to help.
âI do it because I had grandchildren - twins - and they were severely premature, and we were told they probably wouldnât make it, she explained.

Jackie Marshall told us then that she was leaving her house one day and noticed something in the front yard. Thatâs where it was, lying right there,â Marshall said, pointing to her yard. âIt was not only a letter - it was an IRS check.â
So, Jackie and her sister, Patricia Brooks, tracked down the address of the owner, drove five miles in the pouring rain and delivered it to a grateful Michael Borecky.
