MAT MLADIN DONATES RACE WINNING LEATHERS TO JAMIE BROCKMAN APPEAL ON eBAY

On hearing the news of the injuries received by young Australian motocross rider Jamie Brockman, former Australian and three-times American Superbike champion Mat Mladin has undertaken to support an appeal for the injured rider by donating a set of his race winning leathers and placing them on eBay with all proceeds going to the Jamie Brockman Foundation.

Brockman, who hails from Western Australia and has been racing motocross in America for the past three seasons, suffered spinal injuries and remains in a serious condition after a race fall while competing at the Spring Creek (Millville, Minnesota) round of the American AMA Motocross Championship on August 17.

“I have just found out about Jamie Brockman and the injuries that have left him as a quadriplegic,” said Mladin. “No-one likes to hear about these sorts of things happening and I felt that it would be an appropriate cause to make a donation to.”

The leathers which Mladin will be placing on eBay are those that he wore when he won AMA Superbike races at Laguna Seca, Mid-Ohio double-header and
Virginia.

Auction details:
The Auction is setup to start Friday, September 5 at 6:00pm (USA, Pacific Time) and will run for 10 days. All funds will be forwarded to the Jamie Brockman Foundation.

The item will be on eBay under: Mat Mladin 2003 Agv Sport Leathers and will be placed under the SPORTS category. Item number is 2751485764.
