Connor's Heart to Host Fentanyl Awareness Motorcycle Run Benefiting Serenity Mesa

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Connor's Heart will host a Fentanyl Awareness Motorcycle Run on Saturday, July 11, 2026, bringing riders, families, and community members together to honor lives lost to fentanyl poisoning and raise awareness to help save those who are still with us.

The ride will begin in Albuquerque, with kickstands up at noon, and will end at Wicked West Harley-Davidson in Santa Fe. The event will include free food, non-alcoholic drinks, silent auction, live music by Danny T & the Stealing Thunder Band, and a special acoustic performance by Hans Storsberg.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Serenity Mesa Treatment Services, an Albuquerque-based organization that supports young people and families impacted by substance use.

Connor's Heart was created in memory of Connor, who lost his life to fentanyl poisoning at just 24 years old. Through this event, Connor's family and supporters hope to turn grief into purpose by raising awareness, supporting prevention, and connecting families to life-saving resources.

"Fentanyl has changed the lives of so many families forever," said Lisa Keltner, founder of Connor's Heart. "This ride is about honoring those we have lost, supporting families who are still fighting, and reminding our community that awareness, education, and compassion can save lives."
