Fountain Hill, PA - What might be considered the last motorcycle run was made on Nov. 1, for a toy run that has lasted 15 years here in the Lehigh Valley. This annual event was started by Rick Nauman, who wanted to somehow honor his friend Tucker Stuart, a boy  who was killed in a motorcycle accident back in 2011. Since its beginning, a total of 60,000 toys and $550,000 have been collected and been dispersed to the St. Luke's Childrens Hospital in Fountain Hill and its affiliates. The motorcade began in Northampton and proceeded eastbound on Rt.329 and eventually leading to the hospital in Fountain Hill. Several area first responder police and fire units were in the beginning of the motorcade, which was then followed by 1000 motorcyclists. Its uncertain at this time if someone else would be willing to continue this Tucker tradition. However, there are other groups that might be inspired to participate.
