If Santa’s reindeers get tired this year, he is sure to find at least one back-up from the 203 motorcyclists who attended the annual Downs Motorcycle Sporting Club’s toy run on Sunday.
This year hundreds of toys were donated, filling the St Vincent de Paul truck to the very top.
The club will also include a cash donation to the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation from proceeds of the sausage sizzle.
This year the heat drew the crowds of biking enthusiasts dressed up in Christmas cheer, from cotton Christmas pyjamas to full Santa suits, while tinsel wrapped up bike handles or the occasional mischievous elf on the shelf held on for dear life in the back seat.
In the financial year, St Vincent de Paul supported more than 35,000 locals, a 23 per cent increase on the year before, St Vincent’s representative David Harpham said.
“This time of the year everyone is doing it a bit tough, and we like to give back and help out those who go without,” Downs Motorcycle Sporting Club toy run organiser JJ Rodgers said.
