“There were more than 30 beneficiaries including the Salvation Army and the goal was to give back. The club wants to make a difference in the community,” Graham said.
In total, 62 biker clubs took part in the run with about 200 people who made donations during the day. There were also 147 blankets donated, on top of that, around R9 000 was donated to buy more blankets.
