JASPER, Ga. - More than 50 motorcyclists spent Saturday riding through the rain in support of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
What we know:
The 53-mile ride is a part of Walmart’s 4th annual "Cause for the Kids Cruise," which raises money for Children's Healthcare.
The ride kicked off Saturday morning at the Walmart in Jasper, went through the North Georgia mountains, and ended at the Walmart in Ellijay.
In total, the ride raised $2,200 for the hospital system. Children's Healthcare treated more than 6,000 kids who lived in Pickens and Gilmer counties last year, according to the hospital.
