Default Bikers Help Teen Look Cool for School

They're an unlikely team. A teenage girl with a life long disease and big, tattooed biker dudes. Both sides are getting a lot out of the partnership as the men are helping the teen look cool for school.

Michigan - When you see a group of tough bikers pull into a parking lot, probably the last place you think they would be going is shopping. However, the bad to the bone biker image melted away when they met 14-year-old Brittney Burke. She's a young girl recently diagnosed with scleroderma, a chronic, auto immune disease that over time causes the skin and organs to harden.

"I am just so touched by their unconditional giving," said her mother Michelle Price.

Like any teenager, Burke was nervous for her first day of high school. However, that all changed when she meet the Huron Valley Night Hawks, who held a charity ride and raised enough money to take her back-to-school shopping.

The Night Hawks became Burke's knight in shining armor. At Livonia's TJ Maxx, the bikers, who looked more like her body guards, helped hold on to her clothes, gave their opinions and even became her personal shoppers.

"It's nice to do that and it's like different seeing like bikers shopping," Burke said.
