Hundreds of motorcycles are expected to roll through three counties Sunday for the “Big Mike’s Memorial Run,” a charity bike run in memory of a young man who died in a motorcycle crash seven years ago.

Michael T. Kerr, 26, had left Legends Sports Pub in Green, where he worked as a “bar back/bouncer,” when the crash occurred July 27, 2008.

He died later that day.
