Good morning, Mount Pleasant.

On Saturday, bikers from the Lowcountry gathered for the Have A Heart 2025 Charity Ride to raise funds for Charlotte, a 6-year-old waiting for a heart transplant at MUSC.

The ride started at American Biker in Ladson and crossed the Arthur Ravenel Bridge—helping raise over $2,000 for her family.

Local beaches now enforce seasonal dog rules starting May 1, with varying hours for leash use and off-leash time at Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, Kiawah Island, Edisto Beach, and Seabrook Island + pet owners must also clean up after their animals.

On May 2, Town officials kicked off Makers Mart at Park West Recreation Center when councilmembers John Iacofano and Daniel Brownstein joined staff and vendors in offering fresh farm products + ready-to-eat foods + unique handcrafted items.
