The bikers she saved came back for lemonade

Thirty motorcycles came down Daryn Sturch's block in Denver, Indiana, in September 2019, all to buy lemonade from her eight-year-old daughter, Bryanne. A year earlier, Sturch, a nurse, had stopped at a wreck on State Road 19 where several riders had gone down. She parked far enough away that Bryanne wouldn't see the worst of it, then ran toward the injured. Five bikers from the Milwaukee Iron group out of Kokomo were hurt, and all five survived. They tracked Sturch down on Facebook afterward, and the thank-you messages turned into a real friendship. When she posted about the lemonade stand, a few said they might swing by. She figured one or two. The riders lined up one at a time at the folding table. Bryanne was charging a dollar. "I bet every one of them gave a $5 or $10 or $20," Sturch said. Sturch saved a long hug for an injured biker known as Lumpy.
