On Saturday, Taylor Van Emmerik became Claus for a cause. The 16-year-old, who was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis seven years ago, donned an inflatable Santa Claus outfit for a 5K (3.1 mile) run through Yankton. He triumphantly finished by crossing the upper deck of the Meridian Bridge, raising about $3,000 for the Arthritis Foundation. “This is part of the annual Jingle Bell Run fundraiser. Because of COVID, they weren’t having the large groups running together,” he said. “I decided to have a virtual run by myself, putting it on Facebook and YouTube for people to follow.” And the Santa outfit? Van Emmerik wore it in the spirit of the season and to raise more funds.
