More than 200 motorcyclists joined the Freedom Ride from the Harley-Davidson dealership on Pine Ridge Road to Stan's seafood restaurant in Goodland on Sunday morning, raising funds to support wounded veterans and their families.

Before they headed out, the riders listened to speakers including John O’Keefe from the American Legion and ride organizer Alan Harris of Harley-Davidson Naples extol the work of Fisher House, the beneficiary of the event, which provides accommodations so families of wounded soldiers can stay near them while the veterans undergo treatment.
