FORT MYERS, Fla. - Fort Myers Police Officer Andrew Widman was on the mind of more than a thousand bikers riding throughout Southwest Florida.

A poker run for Widman's family was held Sunday.

Bikers started their 125 mile route at the Harley Davidson on Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers.

There's no fee to ride, bikers make donations to the fallen officer's wife and three children.

Biker Shamus O'Toole says, "It's a very sad but very beautiful thing everybody's doing."

They don't have an exact total raised yet.

A check will be presented to the Widman family later this week.
