Bikers for a good cause: 6,410 euros for terminally ill children in Schwerin!
Last Saturday, Schwerin was the scene of an impressive charity event that once again showed the big heart of the motorcycle community. Around 200 vehicles took part in the third moonlight ride and collected a remarkable 6,410.36 euros for the children and youth hospice “Leuchtturm e.V.”. The evening began at 3 p.m. at Bertha-Klingberg-Platz with music, delicious food and a colorful program for the little ones.
The motorcycles, quads, trikes and mopeds were creatively decorated with LED lights, which further increased the anticipation of the evening ride. This started at 9 p.m. under the protection of the police and took the participants from Schwerin to Lankow, via the bypass to Mueßer Holz and back. The powerful-voiced machines were a delight, both acoustically and visually.
A matter of the heart
The commitment of the bikers, as has often been the case with such charity rides, shows the connection and solidarity within the community. Bikers have traditionally stood up for disadvantaged people, and this is just one of many examples in which riders demonstrate their generosity. Events like this help to raise awareness of important social issues and raise donations for children in need, as Piste reports.
In addition, the association “Leuchtturm e.V.” Information about the use of the funds collected and the important local work of the association. A nice incentive for everyone who watched the hustle and bustle and wanted to find out more about the importance of the children's and youth hospice.
The fun factor
In addition to the emotional component, the fun was also not neglected. There was a bouncy castle for the little visitors, which brought happy faces while the parents enjoyed the food and music. The diverse offering made the event a true family celebration.
The success of this event is not only a sign of solidarity, but also a tradition in the motorcycle scene. As already indicated on previous trips, Ernstl Graft set standards in charitable commitment decades ago with his “TOYRUN”. Such events always encourage drivers to get involved and use their time and resources for a good cause, as Motorrad Kulturreisen reports.
Overall, the moonlight trip can be recorded as another successful event in the annals of Schwerin charity events. The motorcyclists have once again proven that where there is a will, there is a way - and this way can be for a good cause.
