Bikers Bringing Halloween Magic to Special Needs Kids

Halloween is a magical time for most kids, but what happens to the children who are deaf or blind or disabled and really can't go door-to-door trick or treating? One man brings the magic to them.

Eight-year-old Jonathan transforms into Cowboy John right before our eyes. Born prematurely, he is blind, suffers seizures and is developmentally delayed, which means typical trick or treating nearly impossible.

That's why an annual special needs Halloween party means the world to the Markham family.

"It's not a stressful event to where your afraid someone's looking at your child... because we're all in the same boat. We all have some sort of issue there, and all we want is our children to be enjoying the moment," said Kristine Markham, Jonathan's mother.

It's a labor of love for a local group of bikers lead by Kaz Mamon.

"For the kids, really reach out and say, hey, you know, here's somebody I don't even know and he cares about me," said Mamon.

"Him and his guys there, they are top notch with the kids," said Faron Markham, Jonathan's father.

The party starts inside Mesquite Creek in Clarkston, and then moves outside where costumed bikers will hand deliver treats to each child.

"The kids are stationary in spots, and the bikers come to the them and go trick or treating to the kids. We give out the candy and goodies to the kids. We have children that are in wheelchairs and kids with MS and everything else," Mamon said.

"Just to think that all these kids, who have no other way to go trick or treating, just for whatever reason, have a place where they can come and... have the candy brought to them. It's awesome," said Tony Vitale, general manager of Mesquite Creek.

It all happens on Sunday, November 1. Lunch starts at 11:00 a.m. There's face painting, pony rides and then 100 Halloween bikers lead by Shrek.
