A south Georgia Motorcycle club held a final ride for a young Lee County woman who lost her long battle with a lung disorder.
21 year-old Victoria Doolittle passed away a week ago from complications with a lung transplant.
21-year old Victoria Doolittle struggled with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension since she was about 10 years old. It's abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.
"In '02 she had a lung transplant and it worked well until 2010, and she has a second lung transplant, July 4th 2010, In 2011, she was rejecting the lung and was going to need a third lung transplant," says Gloria Sullivan, Independent Harley Riders Association.
She fought to get healthy so she could receive her third transplant, but Doolittle lost her fight on August 11th.
"She was very high spirited, she was full of life and she didn't let it stop her," says Heather Knight, Close Friend.
The Independent Harley Riders Association held a couple of benefit rides for Doolittle while she was alive to raise money for her medical bill. She even rode in one of them.
"The last benefit we did for her, she rode on a Harley for the first time, and we wanted to give her her last ride," says Knight.
Heather Knight held her ashes on the ride. Her family and friends say the community support has been amazing.
"It means a whole lot, she was very special to all of us and she really appreciated the benefits that we did for her and she wouldn't have had it any other way," says Sullivan.
Friends say her passion was organ donating and the family would like for everybody to sign their organ donor card in her honor.
