There should only be one fund to help riders injured at road race meetings. Having to many funds will put many people off from donating or helping out.
The Joey Dunlop fund was set up for this very reason and should be supported.
The fund set up for Nick and Mark seems to be doing well but what about the other riders that have been injured, as you said John McBride may need help but nothing has been set up.
I noticed on IOMTT.com A question was asked of the Nick and Mark fund if the funds raised could be split between others to which the reply was no, and for the life of me I cant understand why when we still have other riders in hospital and im sure thier families are finding it hard.

The MGP will soon be upon us and the Helicopter has to be paid for and this money has to be raised, and in the current financial climate its going to be hard. Maybe its about time the IOM Government take a look at the situation and sets something up that will benifit us all.
