Patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) were greeted by a swarm of motorcycles on Sunday, Dec. 13, as riders from all over Southern California participated in the 23rd annual Toy Run presented by Quaid Harley-Davidson. In what was probably the biggest crowd in the 23-year history of the toy ride, there were nearly 700 bikes participating, raising over $10,000 for the hospital and bringing in a massive truckload of toys for patients. “As much as our community is hurting right now, this shows the amount of love and generosity that does exist,” said Jillian Payne, executive director, LLUCH Foundation said to the participants during the event. “Every year we see this event grow, and we are so grateful for everything this group continues to do for the kids here.” Riders from bike crews across Southern California participated in the toy run, which started at Quaid Harley-Davidson in Loma Linda. Riders donated $10 and a new, unwrapped toy to participate. Proceeds from a BBQ lunch at the shop also benefited LLUCH. Participants caravanned from Quaid Harley-Davidson to the hospital, making a loud, enthusiastic entrance onto the property. Patients were invited to sit on one of the bikes, and Zander Moncada did not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity. The 11-year-old from San Jacinto confidently perched himself on the motorcycle, posing for photos. He said he likes motorcycles and was really enjoying the afternoon. The Quaid brothers expressed their appreciation to the crowd as well as to the staff at the hospital for their dedication for the kids in the community. “This place is special,” said Gordon Quaid. “The work done here comes from the heart.”
