Conflicts overseas may be winding down, but the unseen injuries are ever present. So, the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) hosted a poker run to raise funds and awareness of PTSD among returning Veterans.

The run began and ended at Latitude 78/Gator Mike’s in Cape Coral. In support of CVMA’s run, Wolfhounds Legacy and PTSD Awareness Summit both had a presence with information about their programs.

After registering at Gator Mike’s and drawing the first card, riders set out to card stops in St. James City, Cape Coral, North Ft. Myers before returning to the starting point for the last card. Dirk Dennis won the $100 Best Hand prize with 3 Kings. Mike Myzak “won” the Worst Hand with a 9 high nothing. Proceeds from the run will be donated to PTSD Awareness.
