Harley Davidson enthusiast Paul Haddad is organizing a bikers’ rally for Saturday in Charlottetown to support first responders and front-line workers.
Haddad said he was inspired by one of the many catch-phrases Premier Dennis King has uttered during the coronavirus pandemic – FU COVID.
“There are a lot of people out there thinking, ‘what can I do to give back’? This is a time where the world has changed but our spirits have grown stronger and people want to do more; give more,’’ Haddad said.
He said a lot of people have done a lot of different things to show support for one another since the pandemic led to physical distancing measures. They range from dancing to singing on social media and connecting through technology like Zoom.
“I want to do my share and I can’t dance or sing, but I love to ride (motorcycles).’’
