Lost Riders Fallen Hero Poker Run

By Ron Cox

FallenHero16

More than 70 riders/passengers registered at Six Bends Harley-Davidson in Ft. Myers on November 5th to ride in the Inaugural Fallen Heroes Poker Run.

One of the unique aspects of the run was that all the card stops were at police agency headquarters. Riding as a group with a police escort from the Lee County Sheriff’s Department, the riders stopped at the Florida Highway Patrol, Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Ft. Myers Police and the Cape Coral Police Department. Each police agency received a framed Certificate of Appreciation, recognizing the efforts of these first responders. Proceeds from the run $2,000
will be held in escrow and divided among the agencies
as needed.

Cape Coral PD patrol cars and motor units continued the escort, safely leading the riders to Mike Greenwell’s Dugout Sports Bar and Grill for the post run festivities. The Pitbull Blues Band out of Ft. Lauderdale provided almost non-stop entertainment.

Loads of door prizes were given away. Ashley Van Buren won $170 in the 50/50 drawing and donated $70 back to the cause. Edwin “Sixx” Hyne was the biggest winner, an Ace through five straight won him a two night stay in Key West for two and round trip transportation on the Key West Express. The prize has a value of $850.

Lost Riders President Mike Mazzoli estimated that this run will become an annual event.
