Biloxi’s Sun Herald reported on a true feel good story today. According to the newspaper, over 600 motorcyclists, many belonging to the Asgard Motorcycle Club, contributed both toys and monetary donations to help provide in-need children with a merry Christmas. The 27th Annual Asgard Motorcycle Club Toy Run, has become a giving tradition for the Mississippi MC, who stand as sparkling examples against the rough personas that motorcycle clubs often fall victim to.
Riders from all over the state rode in to North Biloxi Sunday morning, where they packed an 18 wheel truck with the latest and greatest toys. According to the Sun Herald, the truck was escorted to Knights of Columbus Hall where it was met by a truck filled with bikes donated by the Biloxi Fire Department. While it was a giant success, the Asgard spokesperson, Alfred “Smokey” Stepputat, admitted there were less riders than last year. This is not due to a lack of giving spirit, but attributed to the migrating rain that made riding less probable and more dangerous.
In a time of tight wallets and down markets, the need for something as selfless and pure as Asgard’s toy run is at an all time high. As it was pointed out, this is the time of year to share your good fortune with others who haven’t had the same luck. With Asgard gathering donations from local businesses as well as their own members, it’s clear to see that Biloxi hasn’t let the holiday spirit suffer this year. As they shouldn’t and neither should the rest of the world. It just goes to show that no matter your background or upbringing, no matter where your from or who you are, a good deed and an noble gift weighs the same all around.
