For any of you in the Central FL area:
If you have the desire to do something good this holiday season without
having to give up any riding time, plan on participating in the 18th Annual
Brevard ABATE Toy Run - the largest ABATE Toy Run in the state of Florida.
It takes place on Sunday the 5th (rain or shine) - entrance fee is one new
toy or game and a stuffed animal. All toys to be donated to the Azan Shrine
Children's Hospital Program (see below for details of what they do for
children). Ride begins at the Merritt Square Mall in Merritt Island and
runs to the BCC Pavilion in Melbourne. Line up from 8-11:30a.m. - ride
departs at noon - this is not a "Harley only" ride - all motorcyclists
welcome. If anyone is interested and needs more info, let me know

About the Shriners Hospitals (http://www.shrinershq.org/index.html)
Shriners Hospitals for Children is a network of pediatric specialty
hospitals, founded by the Shrine, where children under the age of 18
receive excellent medical care absolutely free of charge. There are 18
orthopaedic Shriners Hospitals, three Shriners Hospitals dedicated to
treating children with severe burns, and one Shriners Hospital that
provides orthopaedic, burn and spinal cord injury care. Shriners Hospitals
are located throughout North America -- 20 in the United States and one
each in Mexico and Canada. These "Centers of Excellence" serve as major
referral centers for children with complex orthopaedic and burn problems.
There is never a charge to the patient, parent or any third party for any
service or medical treatment received at Shriners Hospitals. Shriners
Hospitals accept and treat children without regard to race, religion or
relationship to a Shriner. Any child may be eligible for treatment at a
Shriners Hospital if the child is under 18 and if, in the opinion of the
hospital's chief of staff, the child has an orthopaedic or burn condition
that Shriners Hospitals can help.
All of the orthopaedic hospitals are equipped and staffed to treat children
with congenital orthopaedic deformities, problems resulting from
orthopaedic injuries, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Three of
the orthopaedic hospitals (in Chicago, Philadelphia and Sacramento) also
have special programs dedicated to caring for children with spinal cord
injuries.
The Shriners Hospitals in Boston, Cincinnati, Galveston, and Sacramento
treat children with acute, fresh burns; children needing plastic
reconstructive or restorative surgery as a result of "healed" burns;
children with severe scarring, resulting in contractures or interference
with mobility of the limbs; and children with scarring and deformity of the
face.
