The Sentinel Knights organization has grown over the last 3 years trying to relay the message to children that they have somewhere to turn for protection. They've tied the message engraved in their vest with their love for riding motorcycles into a way to spread their message.

"It's so bad out there we get some of the worst cases ever and a lot of them turn to suicide and stuff like that, and we're here to prevent that. We're here for them, and when they call us we come," John Remy, President, said.

The Sentinel Knights has riders support from Flint, Grand Rapids, Jackson, and Lansing. They all agree they want to put an end to this problem in their cities, so they are riding through to show who they are and what they stand for.

"The most important thing I want to get out there to any of you little kids that's watching out there, if you're being bullied and feel like you have no where to turn please call us and we will come," he added.

The ride also attracted new comers who wanted to learn more and do more some of them were parents.

"I have children, and I've seen how hurt some kids can get at school. I would want my kids to be the kind of kids that stick up for people so I think you're leading by example with the group," Julie Alverson said.

Robert Flinn was one of those kids who got help from the Sentinel Knights, and he's been sticking with them ever since.

"I'm not alone through all this. I've got people for me, and I'm comfortable," he said.
