BOCK Poker Run

Once again, Gavin and I are finding ourselves blown away by the kindness of others. Today the Bikers of Central Kansas (BOCK) held a Poker Run for Owen, that also included a dinner and raffle. Randy and Dian Long, who were in charge of the event, approached us months ago about doing a run for Owen...so this has been in the works for a very long time! Two Sundays ago, the boys and I crashed one of their monthly meetings so the bikers could meet Owen before the event. Wow, were they so incredibly nice to us! They were all very interested in Owen's condition and personality and were extremely eager to help him. We have met some awesome people through this organization! Thank you so much BOCK for letting Owen into your hearts and for holding an AWESOME fundraiser for him!!!

Owen rested up and ready to go in his "Owen's Road Warriors" t-shirt

Owen with some of the bikers at the Odin Store--one of the stops on the Poker Run. We were amazed at how many participated!

Owen with one of his new biker buddies--this nice lady just couldn't keep her lips off of Owen! He just has that affect on women I guess :)

Randy and Dian Long posing with Owen...what great people!

Grandma and Grandpa thought it would be a great idea to put Owen on a bike...

Yep, Dex thought he needed a turn as well...and no, they weren't scared the boys would poop on the seat...the leather was just too hot for their little booties, which is why they are both sitting on a towel

The BOCK went all out with the advertising...Owen's name was EVERYWHERE! Here is Owen posing with one of the banners they displayed at Ernie's bar. He was even on the big electric sign outside the bar!

What a great day we've had. Thank you to all the friends and family who met us down at the Odin Store, the individuals and businesses who sponsored the Poker Run, and a special thank you to Randy and Dian Long and ALL the bikers who supported Owen! What a loved little boy we have.
