Update:
The Ride for Justice was organized to raise awareness and money to help the families of victims involved in last month's crash involving an Indianapolis police officer.
George Burt who witnessed the crash was overwhelmed with Sunday's turnout.
"God bless these folks. These people could be doing something else, enjoying their families at a picnic or something. They chose to come here."
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard accepted an invitation to speak at the beginning of the ride.
"The families deserve what the truth is. They deserve to know what happened," said Mayor Ballard. "This is such a painful part in the city's history right now, not only because of the accident, but because of some of the activities that went on just afterward and that's the part we have to figure out."
Ryan Wells the younger brother of Eric who was killed in the crash hopes these efforts will bring about change.
He believes his brother would be proud of the support his family is receiving.
"He knows he had a great group of friends. He's looking down knowing that, yep, that's my friends down there supporting my family. I think he's proud."
The ride raised more than $40,000 for the families of victims.
Original Story:
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard told riders bound for Indianapolis, "the families deserve to know the truth," in regards to the crash that left Eric Wells dead and Mary Mills and Kurt Weekly seriously hurt.
The ride is winding down to Indianapolis as a show of support and to raise money for the families' medical expenses, as well as demanding justice in the Officer David Bisard case.
The Mayor sent hand-written letters to the families of the victims last week in response to letters they sent demanding action and an independent investigation. Bisard was accused of driving drunk the day of the crash, but blood test results were later thrown out.
