RE: Charity events
Quote:The RNLI is one charity that looks after the interests of all sailors not just one. How many charities do we need to look after ALL Injured Riders from the TT.
If the families of every rider injured at the TT were to set up fund raising events, how long do you think it would take to Pizz Joe Public off.
In the past proceeds from successful fund raising events would have been shared about in a bid to help all, and that's all I'm trying to suggest, is there any reason why some of the proceeds from this fund could be shared about the needy

I agree, there are quite a few charities that look after injured riders and the people involved in those are quite free to organise fund raising events for them, as are the families of any injured riders.
It's not an exclusive club it just takes someone to start the ball rolling and take the initiative to raise funds, and no I don't think it would bother the public as much as you seem to think.
I think the general public on the Isle of Man support all worthwhile causes and certainly not all are to do with the TT or MGP.
You then go onto ask to share the proceeds from a fundraiser that has been explicitly set up and advertised for the two lads who crashed.
This particular fund raising hasn't been set up for all injured riders in the TT, as you said yourself "how many charities do we need to look after all the injured riders" these events have been, and are advertised, as I've already said, for the two riders who crashed at Ballacob, and the people of the Island and in the UK who are supporting them know that.
I take my hat off to everyone involved, those who have given there time up and took the initiative, when the families involved were in turmoil after the accident to organise the events, Malcolm and the TT website for the advertising, posters etc, and to all the people who have given there time and money and to everyone who's supported them in any way at all. Long may it continue.
