The Rolling Hug started in California by Pete Friedkin in his wife’s memory. The hug was sent to me for reasons you’ll read on the webpage, and I am now passing it on to other bikers in Debbie’s name to share her legacy of love. I hope that eventually the hug will return to Pete after being passed through hundreds of fellow bikers.
