Jo Anna Wright’s (founder of this poker run) Nephew (Brett Henslee) suffers from a very intense case of epilepsy. So she decided 5 years ago she could have a poker run to help raise money. It took 2 years to gather information that would make what is now the annual epilepsy poker run you see here today. This was not an easy task! Thanks to her friends and family it's been a huge success.

Our Poker Run:
Why:
To raise funds and awareness for the Northern California Epilepsy Foundation and support those who have epilepsy or those caring for someone with epilepsy.
Who:
This is a motorcycle event that is open to anyone, including families, kids, and those with epilepsy. Even if you do not ride we would love to see you at the end for the BBQ to show your support.
How to play:
* Riders must register and go to all 5 stops to qualify. * Riders must pick 1 number at each stop *Riders must check their numbers against the “number board” at the final stop to determine their own hand and report to the gaming manager. * Winners will be announced at the last stop. * Once this announcement has been made all hands are void. * Cards altered in any way will be VOID!
How:
Ride a motorcycle (all makes and models welcome) or drive a car if you must. You can also just attend at the last stop for dinner, raffles, various games, and LIVE MUSIC!
Friends list:
I want to get this MySpace page on to peoples top friend's list. Your top friend's can include up to 40 people so even if it is the last one on your list that would be great.
Thanks for all the support, there was a ton of people at last year's run. I just wanted to take a second to THANK YOU ALL for helping in the fight against epilepsy.
