We have a new Facebook Page for this event - www.facebook.com/FoggyandWhitChatNight
There is one very special auction item on the evening; Yamaha Racing, Lin Jarvis and Andrew Smith from Yamaha Europe have kindly donated two passes for the Silverstone Moto GP in August. This will include Paddock Passes from Friday to Sunday. On Saturday they will become special guests of the Yamaha team which includes a garage tour, some goodies to take away and meeting Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
Carl Fogarty said "Cancer is sadly an illness I know too much about, I have lost, like many, good friends from this awful illness. Carly made contact with me about doing a chat night for Huck and I was more than happy to come and help out. I hope the night can raise some good money for Friends of Huck. It will be good to see familiar faces from the racing paddocks but also new fans from my jungle experience, I'm looking forward to it and hope to see you there."
James Whitham is also no stranger to the illness having battled Hodgkin's Lymphoma back in 1991 and successfully beating it. "When I was asked to do this I didn't give it a second thought as I love the world of motorsport and keen to also support cancer charities so the combination is perfect. Mark is only young and has a little boy who is only seven, if we are able to make some money to give him that extra time then it is more than worth it."

About Friends of Huck
www.facebook.com/FriendsOfHuck
36-year-old ex-top Motocross rider Mark Hucklebridge is suffering from terminal cancer. In February 2014 he went for a routine scan and has sadly been told the cancer has spread and his blood levels have risen again. He was diagnosed in 2010 with stage four bowel, liver and lung cancer, he has fought hard but was given the devastating news last year the cancer is now terminal and they can only prolong his life.
To keep his spirits high and mind occupied Mark thought hard about what should be done with all the monies that have been raised over the last four years. Mark is so touched, grateful and amazed by the amount of people who have got behind him and the cause and the generosity from everyone has been incredible, he is eternally thankful. They have just been granted Charity Status with the registered number being 1160846 FRIENDS OF HUCK.
Friends of Huck will now split any monies raised between various Cancer charities including that of The Forever Friends Appeal who have been treating Huck with his chemo. As Mark has grown up in and around the motocross industry the majority of the money will also go to riders who have been seriously injured or suffering a serious illness and are no longer able to live the life they once did.
The online Selloo auctions will continue to run for as long as we can get items to sell and various events can be set up via the new website. This will ensure now there is one point where every event done for Huck goes through one channel as Huck and his family wish to thank people who have been involved.
Mark Hucklebridge - "I'm astounded by the support I have been given by people since my cancer was diagnosed as terminal in February 2014 and it's totally overwhelming what people have done for me.
Sometimes I've not known what has been going on and this is my reason for setting up the Friends of Huck Charity. The charity will be one point of call for everyone; we can then see what is being raised and who is raising it.
I also want to put something into the sport that has been most of my life and also the sport which has supported me the most through these horrible times. There is nothing set up for riders that have become seriously injured in motocross or for any rider and their family that might be going through similar to what I am so that's what I wish to do.
I would personally like to thank everyone who has donated, competed, bought or contributed in any shape or form since my diagnosis, I can't possibly thank you enough, I wish I could. I hope Friends of Huck will always continue to run and be successful in future years."
