FORT MYERS, Fla. Dozens of Southwest Florida motorcyclists rode for a good cause Sunday in the Motorcycle Poker Run.

The event benefited ACT, an organization that provides resources to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.

“It’s emotional to see the big trails of bikers coming in and just knowing that they’re out here to support us,” ACT spokeswoman Christine Kobie said. “… Knowing that we have such an outpouring of support out here is really touching.”

Bikers rode from Six Bends Harley-Davidson and made stops at South Trail Fire Station 62 on 13500 Sophomore Lane, Second ACT Thrift store on 12519 S. Cleveland Ave., Iberia Bank on 9101 College Pointe Court, and Arts for the ACT Gallery on 2265 First St.

The ride finished at Six Bends Harley-Davidson with a Tom Petty tribute concert.
