The Hope for Huck Appeal has two items for sale on eBay. Two VIP MotoGP hospitality passes for any European round – donated by Paul Bird Motorsport – have attracted 21 bids as we post this story and stand at £820. Bidding ends on Friday 1 August.
The second item is a full motocross outfit – shirt and pants, signed, worn and donated by Jake Nicholls. It had attracted nine bids and stood at £120, with five days to go.
The Hope for Huck Appeal organisers hope the industry will get behind the fund-raising push. Huck, or Mark Hucklebridge, is battling terminal cancer. Monies raised will be split between Mark and his family to enjoy their time together and the Forever Friends Appeal at the Royal University Hospital in Bath where the 35-year-old is undergoing treatment.
Huck has been a dominate figure in the motocross industry for the last 20-years, as a rider and also a race organiser, plus one of the top ACU trainers in the UK. In 2010 his life changed when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
“We are asking anyone who may have something they can donate that we can sell to please get in touch with us and help us raise as much money as possible. Huck has put so much into our sport and now it is our turn to put into Huck and help him. If you have anything, signed, unsigned, race kit, products, tickets, anything we will sell!”
