THE generosity of Portland and Heywood district people was again on show on Saturday as more than a hundred motor bikers joined in the 18th annual Heywood to Portland Toy Run, collecting donations of toys, food and money along the way.

Riding motorbikes along the highway from Heywood and then through Portland’s central business district to the foreshore, participants brought the donated gifts to the foreshore where they were handed over to the Salvation Army, which will distribute them.

Amongst the many that took part were Russell Giles and Michele Compton, who added toys to the stack on Santa’s sleigh.
