With rain forecasted an unbelievable 55 downhillers and Santa Claus showed up for the Totally Toad's Two Charity Downhill Time Trial. Over 65 toys were donated for the kids at the Miriam A. Jamison Children's Center. The center is a waiting area for parentless children until a foster home is available for them.
Kids show up at the facility scared and lonely.
I know this firsthand, as I stayed there for three months when it was called Shelter Care. There will probably be some 30 children spending Christmas there this year so your generous donations contributed to at least 2 gifts for each of them. Thank you to all who helped, spectated and contributed to this fun event. One each month with the last one on May 10, 1998. This is a very affordable local series and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes going downhill on their mountain bike.
