Our Toy Run


On Sunday I posted about a MINI Toy Run we went on. We received a few comments in answer to my question in the post, and yes, you guys guessed it. A Toy Run is an event traditionally organised for bikers. Hundreds of bikers buy toys, muster and ride off on their "Toy Run", delivering the toys to orphanages and children's hospitals. It's generally the only time that huge burly bikers can be seen carrying big fluffy toys.

Sunday was a lot more subdued. MINI drivers hardly have the same rough and tough look about them, but still we bought our toys and mustered to begin our Toy Run. After taking a detour (which I'll post about tomorrow) we finally ended up at the Red Cross Children's Hospital, where a whole lot of kids had a little brightness brought to their day.
