Campbell is known for helping others in his community. Now, he is the one who needs help.
His friends have organized a benefit motorcycle ride to support him during his recovery.
The benefit ride is scheduled for Sunday, September 7. Riders will meet at Duck Thru in Elizabeth City and ride south down Route 17 to Hertford. From there, the group will ride through Belvidere and into Eure where Campbell and his family live.
The ride will end at Campbell’s house.
Bikers and supporters will gather at 9 a.m., with “kickstands up at 10 a.m.” The trip should be about 60 miles.
