The Discovery

At 3 AM in a storm, 69-year-old biker James “Ghost” Sullivan found a newborn in a moving

garbage bag behind an abandoned gas station—umbilical cord tied with a shoelace,

blue and barely breathing. “Come on, little one.

Come on,” he whispered as he lifted her out.

The Ride

He wrapped her in his jacket, tucked her against his chest, and raced 23 miles through pounding rain to the hospital.

“Not on my watch, little warrior. Not on my watch,” he told her.

The Hospital

Doctors stabilized the premature baby. Nurses called her a fighter.

Sullivan learned the mother was a frightened 16-year-old; she later received counseling.

A New Life

Sullivan named the child Grace Hope Sullivan and became her foster — then adoptive — father. Grace spent weeks in the NICU, then thrived. At a gas station years later, she told him, “Good you ride by.” He replied, “Yeah, baby. Good I rode by.”
