Knights of the road ride for Dylan White

DylanWhite is a Clarence-Rockland area youth who suffered severe injury to his head and body after a 70-foot fall from the roof of a grain bin in June 2015. He is undergoing treatment for all of his injuries, including those affecting his brain, but the cost for both the surgeries and therapy, plus renovating the family home tomake it better accessible for him, is proving expensive for the family. The KIFFMC rally, around the Prescott- Russell and rural Ottawa area over the April 29 weekend, had two goals. First was to raise money to help Dylan White and his fam- ily, and second is to raise public awareness about the need for more support for Ac- quired Brain Injury research (ABI). “This is just incredible,” said JohnWhite, Dylan’s father, during a thank-you speech. “When it (ABI) affects the very young, the young need some extra help. The brain can rewire itself in amazing ways. It just needs a bit of help. God bless you all.” Cormack later described the final re- sults of the rally as “very successful” and confirmed that the club will make a special presentation to DylanWhite’s family onMay 13 in Embrun.
A posse of modern-day knights rode out Saturdaymorning fromEmbrun, to help a Prescott-Russell youth and his family and to also help promote awareness about the need formore research on treating injuries to the brain. Dozens upon dozens of riders, mounted on Harleys, Hondas, Yamahas, Kawasakis, and every other make andmodel of motor- cycle, rolled out of the Notre-Dame Street parking lot area near the Embrun clubhouse of the Knights of Inferno Firefighters Motor- cycle Club (KIFFMC). More than 200 riders answered the call for a regional road rally in support of Dylan White. “Every year we try helping fundraise for something different,” said Dave “Repo” Cor- mack, president of the club’s Ontario Capital Central Chapter.This one is my wife’s baby, after she met with Dylan’s mother.” “She came into where I work,” said So- nia “Vixen” Morin. We got to talking about Dylan, and I’m thinking that I’d like to help out as much as I can.”
