SideCar ride needed to make a dying man's with come true

MotorcycleMel · 2015-06-22T12:45:17Z

Dear United Sidecar Association, My name is Melissa McLeod, daughter of a retied Navy Senior Chief, who served 24 years active duty, currently a TV producer based out of Los Angeles. I am writing today seeking advice/help. A few weeks ago, while filming an episode of my TV series (Ghost Asylum – Destination America) in Pennsylvania, I met an 80-year-old, mental patient (Norman), who was left on the doorsteps of an insane asylum when he was just a baby. I later learned he spent 30 years in this abusive clinic until the facility was shut down and he was sent to live in an out patient care facility. At my first meeting with Norman, I noticed he was wearing unusual jewelry and clothing. Upon closer look, what I saw was Norman was covered in head to toe with Harley Davidson merchandise. Soon after he told me he has never been on a motorcycle and his last wish in life is to take a motorcycle sidecar ride. I want to help make his dream come true! Norman lives near Spring City, PA and is in a wheel chair so the only way for this to happen is for him to ride in a sidecar. I am writing you today for guidance on how to make this mans last wish come true! Do you recommend I reach out to a sidecar association in that city? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you for your time and consideration! Best, Melissa McLeod 323-873-4322
