Host Brad Columbus sits down with Craig Secher, founder of Realities For Children and the Realities Ride, the Guinness-certified largest motorcycle poker run in the world. A former Larimer County…
So, yeah, they blessed us by being part of our 25th annual Realities Ride and Rally.
Really? We went out and did a little poker run, and it got a lot of attention as far as what the cause was.
And little did we know that 25 years later, it would be at the scale that it is.
And in 2013, so from the very first year to 2013, it became just this massive motorcycle poker run for our kids.
this year or at the world record we'll say yeah so world record year we probably had over 2500 bikes on the ride registered registered riders on the ride so just when you think of an average size poker I think of a big poker run
know uh this is just on an epic scale and and we did some things very unique to be able to accomplish that but When you talk about the world records of the Cosecs, what we did this year, we have just, you know, I think the riders in our community and all over the country that come to be a part of this are some of the most generous people in the world.
They are here truly for the sake of our kids and seeing them be provided for, knowing that 100% of their registration helps children goes a long ways, and that commitment to making sure that we see no child forgotten.
What was great about the world record in 2013 was it did something else we didn't expect.
It raised awareness about the issues of child abuse, not just locally, nationally and internationally, really globally kind of bringing attention to a problem that is often overlooked.
We don't want to pretend that physical and sexual abuse on children is happening.
And so by giving that a voice through the motorcycle community and then expanding that voice through the world record, it engaged people on a different level, not just with us, but in their own communities, in their own states.
