How to pre-register for the event
When you use the button below, your $20 donation IS your registration. Once the $20 donation is made by you to Paypal, I will receive an email notification. I will use that notification to add you to the "Pre-registration" list. THAT'S IT! :) It's really that simple. But of course, feel free to email me with any questions.
This year each poker hand is $20.00 and this includes your lunch ticket! We will have a 50/50 drawing and raffle ticket prices will be listed at the event. At each vendor table you will have a chance to earn FREE raffle tickets!
The poker hands will pay out $150 for the best hand, $100 for the low hand and two surprise payouts that will be announced at 9:30 am that morning.
You'll receive a goodie bag with each poker card purchase. And if you have Pre-registered you are guaranteed a 5th annual 'Ride With Heart' Souvenir! . They do so much more with every dollar than any other 501c-3 than I've ever seen!
Hello FRIENDS!
So....Why do We Ride?
48% of Americans have Heart Disease! In January of 2022 it took MY DAD! We didn't see the signs, so this year we are going to focus on educating people and maybe even saving even just 1 life!! COME RIDE, THEN JOIN US for an eventful day!
MY Story and why I'm doing this
I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension and right sided heart failure 15 years ago when I was just 37 years old! I had no idea that was I was feeling was associated to my heart. I was struggling to breathe, my lips and finger tips were blue. The doctors told me because there is no cure for Pulmonary Hypertension, my heart would probably only be able to handle the stress for about 3 years; but because I beat the odds....(I'M STILL HERE)...I want to help educate all Americans on the signs and symptoms of heart disease. Raising money at a great Poker Run event brings friends together, doing something we all LOVE......RIDING!
My Goals
My first idea for "Ride With Heart" came to me in January of 2020. Having a love for riding motorcycles, why not start my very own POKER run?! September 12th, 2020 the First Annual Ride With Heart was born!
My goal has evolved as I've learned more about heart disease. Nearly all heart attacks occur from coronary artery disease. This happens from a build up of plaque in the arteries. There is a test called a "Calcium Score" that can give a clue if you are at risk. BUT IT IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE!!! We need to fight to change this!! Prevention is key!!
Ride With Heart History
The First year Ride With Heart was born in 2020 we raised $1,600!
Not too bad for a COVID year!
In 2021 we raised $3,200 doubeling the year before!!
In 2022 we added hands on CPR training, Young Marines exercise compitition and AUCTION items! We had 100 regestered and raised $7,200!!!! Again in 2023 we had 101 registerred riders and raised $5,428! Watching this amazing cause grow has just been a dream come true.
2024 is GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR!! DON'T MISS IT!!!
