When they have the boot collections the money that is raised is used to by bikes for children at Christmas time. They also donate their time to assemble the bikes. We are talking well over a hundred of them. They all have families of their own and do this out of love for their job and to be able to see the JOY on the childrens faces when they receive their bikes.
