The North Coast Road Riders are revving up for their annual Motorcycle Toy Run for Our Kids, bringing festive cheer and support to children across the Northern Rivers this Sunday, 30 November.

Motorcyclists from across the region are invited to don their best Christmas gear, bring along a new unwrapped toy, and join the colourful convoy as it rides from Ballina to Lismore to support local kids this Christmas.

The toys will be shared with Lismore Base Hospital’s children’s ward and local children’s organisations that care for children living with special needs.

“Whether you are a novice or a seasoned rider, all are welcome to join in,” said Motorcycle Toy Run event organiser Jillian Challinor.

Our Kids Fundraising Coordinator, Rebekka Battista, said, “This is such a beautiful way the community can brighten up the children who are in hospital over the Christmas summer season.

“Thank you to all who are taking part. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.”

Riders are encouraged to embrace the festive spirit with Santa suits, tinsel, elf ears or any creative Christmas attire. On arrival in Lismore, participants will be welcomed with a sausage sizzle and drinks.

All donated toys will support Our Kids, helping bring joy to children receiving care locally.
