LEE COUNTY, GA (WALB) -

A South Georgia motorcycle club will hold a final ride for a Lee County woman who lost her battle with a lung illness.  She died over the weekend at age 21.

We did several stories with Victoria Doolittle over the years as she fought Primary Pulmonary Hypertension and had several lung transplants.

The group held a couple of benefit rides for Doolittle. She even rode in one of them.

Her family says there's a way you can honor her.

"Her passion was organ donating and the family would like for everybody to please sign the organ donor card and become an organ donor. That was her passion. She had a very close relationship with her first organ donor family and they want everybody to become a donor," said Gloria Sullivan with the Independent Harley Riders Association.

All motorcycle riders are invited to participate in Doolittle's final ride Saturday starting at 9 am at her home on Paloma Drive in Lee County.

The riders will take her ashes to Matthews funeral home on Gillionville Road.
