In 2008, three friends, Darren Scarborough, Steve Higginbotham, and Mike Webb came together for the cause of cancer. Their longtime friend, TJ Johnson found out he was one of many to join ‘a family’. This family is not necessarily one sought after. This family is made up of hundreds of cancer patients in Elbert County. Those three friends joined with many more to prepare an escorted motor cycle ride from Elberton, GA to Helen, GA. People from all surrounding areas came to ride strong that day and the friends raised eight thousand dollars to aid in the duration of chemo treatments, surgeries, hospital stays, and whatever TJ and his family needed during this time.
That ride and the realization of the numerous cancer occurrences in our area of Georgia inspired the friends to organize a group of people who have the same goals, the goal being to help cancer patients get through the battle with a monetary donation. This group is very diverse and many have had experience with cancer or have loved ones who have experienced the dreaded disease.
