Bikers' poker
run pumps $10,000 into hospital
BODY:
Motors were rumbling and the Southern Steel Band played as
more than 200 bikes were rolling in Sunday for St. Mary Mercy
Hospital's second annual Hawgs for Hearts Motorcycle Poker Run.
The event raised about $10,000 for cardiovascular services at
the hospital.
The ride began at Motor City Harley-Davidson & Buell in Farmington
Hills, and riders made three poker card draw stops along the four-hour
route before winding down at St. Mary Mercy Hospital where they
received commemorative bandanas and a blessing of their bikes
by the Rev. Luke Iwuji of the hospital's Spiritual Care team.
The bikers made stops at Bobber Down in Whitmore Lake; Smitty's
Damsite Inn in Hell, Michigan; and JR's Iron Grille, in Brighton.
They enjoyed food, entertainment, awards, and their chance to
win the grand prize, 2005 Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster motorcycle,
donated by Motor City Harley.
Brothers Mike Chetcuti of Livonia and Lawrence Chetcuti of Westland
were the lucky winners of the motorcycle. They shared the cost
of one $20 raffle ticket.Ê
"I've never won anything in my life," said Mike Chetcuti.
Now they have to figure out how to share it.
