Coolest Motorcycle Dudes Ever Surprise Bullied Hillsborough Teen

Video: A motorcycle brigade surprises a bullied Hillsborough High School student on his last day of school.

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — A bullied Hillsborough High School student was already expecting to be picked up after school to go fishing. What he wasn't expecting was to have a motorcycle brigade roll up and escort him out of school to treat him to a special day by The Warrior Heart.

Tyreke had been bullied throughout the school year but has a "good heart," said John Notte, an East Amwell resident and Marine Corps Veteran who started The Warrior Heart — a locally-based initiative that works to motivate, enable, and empower others to overcome challenges and struggles.

"Whenever he sees a veteran, no matter what, he's stops what he is doing, goes up to them, shakes their hand and thanks them for their service," Notte says of Tyreke in the video.

Tyreke was treated to lunch at The Landing Restaurant in New Hope, Pa. and then they headed over to Amwell Lake where he caught his first fish ever (actually his first 4 fish ever) and a snapping turtle, according to Notte.

They ended the day fishing on the Delaware River.

"We made this young man's day and made a positive impact on his life, all because people like you came out and Showed Your Heart!" Notte said.
