In the end, the simple request gave Felicity and her family more than they could have ever hoped for.
“There were a few other groups involved and we ended up with over 200 bikes escorting Felicity on the ride of her life,” Thomas added.

“It was amazing. We were hoping for maybe 10 or so bikers to come but there were hundreds,” said her dad Rich Morris, according to SNS.
Felicity’s dad added that after years of constant bullying, it meant so much to see their daughter happy.
“She was abused every day and it crushed her but we felt that after Monday night we could see our lovely, bubbly Felicity really enjoying herself,” Rich, 45, said.
“To see that smile break out on her face was very overwhelming,” he added. “The confidence it brought out in Felicity was amazing.”

Although Felicity’s school was only a five mile drive away, the trip ended up taking 30 minutes thanks to all of the bikers — but her family couldn’t be happier about how the evening turned out.
“She’s an amazing girl and she hasn’t deserved any of this, so to see her light up like a Christmas tree was absolutely fantastic,” Rich shared. “When she sat on that trike and I looked at her, it was like time stood still and I just thought ‘we’ve got our daughter back.’ "
