The Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run, held annually in Marseilles, Illinois, took place without incident on June 21, 2008 thanks to the cooperation of 25,000 bikers with the assistance of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. and Attorney Pete Naylor. The organizers of the run contacted our firm quite some time ago to address serious concerns about whether or not the City of Marseilles would issue a special event permit. As the date grew closer, the City of Marseilles cited unspecified security concerns to justify their delay in granting the permit.

Attorney Pete Naylor, an associate with Hupy and Abraham and member of the Westgate and South Suburban Chapters of A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois and the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), was able to work with the city to ensure that the permit was granted and this wonderful event to honor soldiers who lost their lives in Middle East Conflicts could take place.

Hupy and Abraham, S.C. continues to work with the organization to address issues concerning access, ownership and maintenance of the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial, which is the focus of this event.
