Like any 14-year-old boy, Alec Ingram LOVED sports cars. He was fascinated by older models, newer models, and everything in between.
Unfortunately, Ingram was diagnosed with cancer back in 2015 after he broke his arm. He fought hard for many years but lost his battle on November 7th.
Before he passed he told his parents that all he wanted was to have his funeral procession lined with cars.
With the help of his sister, Ingram's story spread online and the Facebook page "Alec Ingram's fight with Cancer" currently has more than 12,000 followers.
She wrote about his last wish in the Facebook group and asked if anyone could help fulfill it. Many followers on the page jumped at the opportunity and on Sunday an estimated 2,100 sports cars and 140 motorcycles showed up at Six Flags in St. Louis to support Ingram and his family. People from every state including Washington, Hawaii, and even Alaska came down to ride in the procession.
Ingram's parents said he "touched more lives all over the world in his short time here then we may ever know" and they thanked everyone for their thoughts and prayers throughout his cancer battle. #GoodVibes
