Friends of Huck: Carl Fogarty and James Whitham Chat Night

Raised a Stunning £11,460

We are delighted to announce that we managed to raise a stunning £11'460 for the Friends of Huck Charity - www.facebook.com/FriendsOfHuckCharity from the Foggy and Whit chat night, which was held at The Engine Shed on the 14th May. The night was a huge success and went without any problems; Carl and James were both on fine form and thoroughly entertained the 320 plus guests on the evening.

The pair chatted about racing, the jungle, people, rivals, stories and had the crowd laughing from start to finish. Mark Hucklebridge is suffering from terminal cancer and was unable to attend on the night due to a week of chemo, however, his wife Emma and his Dad Chris made the trip up from Marshfield.

We can't thank enough the people that helped me on the night and also the kindness and generosity of people who have donated for the auction, raffle and tombola is incredible and I would personally like to thank everyone for their help with this night, with all proceeds going to the Friends of Huck Charity - www.facebook.com/FriendsOfHuckCharity. I must thank also my Mum and Dad, Sophie McGinn, Sarah Wiles, Mike Reed, Katy Bullock, Nicky Morson, Too Fast Films, Jen Crabtree and of course Carl Fogarty and James Whitham who were brilliant.

Hopefully soon we will be able to announce some video links from the evening.

 *Friends of Huck*

 The Friends of Huck Charity has been set up on behalf of Mark Hucklebridge, he is 36-years-old and suffering from terminal cancer, bowel, liver and lung. The Charity has been set up to provide funds for various cancer charities and also seriously ill or injured motorcycle riders.

 Mark is a former top Motocross rider and was diagnosed in 2010 and despite various treatments he was sadly diagnosed in February 2014 with terminal cancer. He is fighting courageously the vile illness and is currently undergoing three months extensive chemo, with his wife Emma and little boy Charlie by his side constantly.

There are also ongoing auctions with some fantastic prizes on www.selloo.co.uk - the money from this goes to the Hope for Huck Fund - for Mark, his treatment and his family.
