font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><b>It is with deep sadness that we bring the news that our beloved friend, and the foundational heartbeat of the Reading Toy Run, Ben Spiller, has died.</b></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">After a short period of illness, Ben died peacefully on 9 April at the Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice in Reading. Whilst there, he had been constantly surrounded by his family, where he faced his failing health with dignity and a genuine sense of peace that his Christian faith brought.</p><p class="p2" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">For those of us close to Ben, we are truly heartbroken. As a husband to Jane for over forty years, a dad to three amazing kids and a grandfather to their children, our prayers are very much for them in these days of heartache.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> </p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">It was Ben’s wish that in the present circumstances, his funeral be a small family gathering and we will honour that privately in the coming days. It was also his wish, that when we have the freedom to gather together once again, we meet to celebrate his life and mourn together as a wider community of people on the road and in church at a memorial service . We will also honour that, and plan to make that happen with details available in due course.</p><p class="p2" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">Ben lived his life in a way that leaves a huge legacy that came from his huge heart. An ordinary bloke that dared to believe you can make a difference in the lives of others – for good. The Toy Run is only part of the story. Many of us will bear witness to his friendship, to his infectious enthusiasm to be a ‘do-er’, not just a talker. He had an ability to co-opt a mixed bag of people to get a job done and many of us share deep friendships together because Ben was the original connecting point.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">He didn’t see himself as a leader, but he was. He had an ability to gather people around him that grew to share the same vision, and get them involved to do the things he couldn’t do alone. It wasn’t about Ben, it was always about making a practical difference on the ground. </p><p class="p2" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">He remained driven by his no nonsense proactive faith in Christ, which had become the hub of his turning world. He didn’t over complicate it and he was more aware than anyone of his own rough edges. But the transformation he’d experienced in his own life was for real and he wanted others to know and experience that too. Often at the end of the Toy Run, or a press interview Ben would emotionally say, ‘Thank God for Bikers’. The biking community, for him, was his tribe.

We are also hoping to have 2 more drop off points on the 6th December as well as the school. These other 2 drop off points unlike the school you will be able to just turn up in whatever vehicle you want without having to book a slot and just drop and go. Please be patient with us because situations are changing daily and as you can imagine none of us have ever had to deal with anything like this before. Many Thanks for your generosity and patience.</span></div><br /><p></p>stillershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307601481774888053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966792622118815181.post-19039379590460581982019-10-14T10:18:00.000+01:002019-10-14T10:18:06.544+01:002019 Reading Toy Run<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Many thanks for your ongoing support and a special thanks to all those who put in the time in preparation for this years event, those who worked hard to get so many gifts through to High Close School in such challenging weather conditions and especially the road crew who still had to go out and take care of the signage afterwards.<br />
<br />
Poor weather conditions is always a risk, but this is the first time in 32 years we have had to cancel the Toy Run.<br />
We plan to be organising next years as usual and you can expect to see the 2018 date announced here after the summer.<br />
<br />
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT<br />
<br />
May you know the blessing of God this Christmas and we look forward to seeing you on the road soon.<br />
<br />
Thank God for Bikers<br />

Due to the bad weather, dangerous riding conditions and therefore safety reasons, the Toy Run this year has had to be CANCELLED. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'SF Optimized', system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.11999999731779099px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Unfortunately we cannot control the event - and everyone's safety comes first. We know that this will be a huge disappointment to many, but we want to do all we can to ensure that the gifts still get to the children. therefore;</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'SF Optimized', system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.11999999731779099px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>High Close School, Wokingham (RG40 1TT) will be open from noon - 3pm to receive your gifts, if you can make your own way there, preferably by car. </li>
<li>There will be vans at Amec Foster Wheelers from 12am today so that the presents still reach the children.</li>
<li>Smiths of Whitely Wood will be open to<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">morrow also to receive gifts. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: 'SF Optimized', system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.11999999731779099px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
We are truly sorry. This does suck - but everyone's safety comes first. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
There will be other years which we will just have to make bigger and better. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Thank you for your understanding, and thanks you to everyone that has been involved in the planning and preparation of this years event.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Thank God for Bikers, </div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>As always thank you for your wonderful support at this year's event which attracted a broad spectrum of representation from across the motorcycling fraternity. Well over 2200 people took part in the ride, which as you can imagine, brought a huge number of gifts which will be distributed by Barnardo's High Close School.</b></div>
<br />
We continue to be immensely fortunate to have the connection with the school. It really is an exceptional facility and all the staff and pupils whole heartedly support this event and enable the donated gifts to be distributed far and wide, where most needed.<br />
<br />
We would also like to extend our thanks to the local media and also the members of the community for cheering the event on with such enthusiasm! Thank you also for the community's patience with regards to the temporary road closures, we hope that the advanced sign posting is working well to assist with planning journeys. It takes a team of over 100 marshals, an additional road crew and paramedics to ensure that the event runs legally and safely - all are volunteers; our deepest thanks to them and everyone else that makes it all fit together.<br />
<br />
Prior to next years run there will be additional information on this web site regarding expected road rules to be observed by all participants of the run and also some advice for spectators, to ensure the event continues to be a safe experience for everyone.<br />
<br />
This year we welcomed BBC's Songs of Praise to the event, who will broadcast a feature in one of the pre Christmas shows coming up. (You may be pleased to know that the committee wasn't required to contribute a choral contribution, although it might have been worth a go!).<br />
<br />
The close of the day however, was tinged with sadness, as one of our regular participants was taken ill at the end of the event and sadly did not recover, despite the dedicated efforts of run participants and event paramedics. We are all naturally, deeply saddened and extend our love and assurance of our prayers to Pete's family in these unexpected days of heartbreak and pain. Over the years many precious friendships have been formed through the Toy Run, moments like this make that more painful, but also bring to the fore the genuineness of the community we share.<br />
<br />
Christmas is a time of joy and sharing, but it is also a story marked by struggle and pain. It is with that in mind we thank you for thinking of others in their struggle and we pray, this Christmas season will be one of comfort for those who need comfort and joy for those who are celebrating.<br />
<br />
With thanks from us all on the organising committee.<br />
<br />
Here's a personal note from Ben,<br />

<i>"I want to say a big thank you to all that turned up for the 2016 toy run. You have made a lot of children very happy all over the country. Once again we had an incredible turn out, with so many amazing people, bikes and outfits! It brought immense pride to see us all unite, showing that these children around us are not forgotten. Sadly this year, a committed member of our toy run family, Pete, was unable to ride home after being taken ill at the end of the event. I believe he is now in God's hands. Thank you all once again, see you all next year. </i></div>

Everyone's contributions are deeply appreciated, helped make the occasion run smoothly and benefitted children and the work of children's support services across the area and beyond.<br />
<br />
In total we had 2041 participants in the run itself, thats 1565 riders with 476 pillions! It required 144 marshals, (big thanks to chief Marshal, Gary), a cast of dozens of others behind the scenes and thousands of locals lined the streets to cheer everyone on.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As the 2013 Toy Run entered Wokingham, a gentleman commented, </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"wouldn't it be great if this run could be entered into the Guinness World Records"</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. That man was Sandy, who had for many years been the principal at High Close School. He was the one who many years previous, had opened the school to a bunch of bikers to bring their gifts and enthusiastically saw the occasion grow and set up the distribution of gifts around an increasing number of projects. Sandy retired from High Close some years ago, but continued to support the event but sadly he passed away in recent months. This year's world record setting attempt was to honour his memory and show our appreciation to Sandy's family. Quite simply the Reading Toy Run would not be what it is without Sandy's openness and welcome all those years ago that led to an ongoing partnership with High Close School.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reading Toy Run thrives on a network of sincere relationships, as an organising group, with Barnardo's and among the thousands of those who turn up on the day. It also is about a generosity of spirit and gifts. If we lose either of those it ceases to be what it set out to be. 2015 will be the 30th anniversary of the event - don't necessarily expect to see another world record attempt, the amount of logistics involved is huge, but do come with the same commitment to the cause and generosity of spirit that will benefit many many children.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the same way the Toy Run is based on relationships and gifts, we are reminded in this Christmas season the heart of the Christmas message is based around relationships and gifts.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The connecting and sometimes reconnecting of our own relationships and the mystery of God connecting in all the frailty and vulnerability of the human experience in the form of a baby can be the centre of our own celebrations. As we share time and gifts with one another, may we also find those moments of definition and maybe surprise, as we peel through the layers of wrappings, to expose the ever present gift of God's grace and mercy amid the busyness of this Christmas season.</span></span><br />
