Biker club treats Danville elderly ladies to early Christmas
The Solidarity Helping Hand motorbike club hosts the event annually.
Elderly ladies from Danville and surrounding areas ladies were treated to an early Christmas lunch and gifts by the Solidarity Helping Hand motorbike club on Saturday, during the club’s fourth annual Christmas carols run.
“We buy them gifts according to their wish lists which were compiled earlier in the year,” said organiser Johan Boning.
Boning also said their bike club challenged the stereotype of bikers being “rough around the edges”.
“Bikers have such a big heart for charity,” he said.
He added that it was a Christian-based bike club.
Boning’s wife Isabel said the event was close to her heart.
“When I was younger I always said I wanted to do something special for elderly people because I don’t like to see people suffering.”
She added that she also wanted to bring back the “traditional” atmosphere of Christmas.
“It must feel like Christmas is coming back; I mean, in South Africa we don’t have Christmas,” Isabel explained.
Entertainers Andre Nel and Francois van Rensburg who performed at the event said they felt honoured to be involved in the project.
