Foggy and Whit reunite for charity

I’m a Celebrity’s King of the Jungle and the most successful World Superbike rider of all time Carl Fogarty will be reunited with friend and Eurosport commentator next week for a one-off special of their ‘Foggy and Whit’ Tour for a good cause.

The duo will put on the special one night only show next Thursday the 14th May in The Engine Shed in Wetherby, raising funds in aid of motorcycle riders with cancer. The Friends of Huck appeal was established in honour of former top motocross and Team Green Kawasaki racer Mark ” Huck” Hucklebridge, who has terminal cancer.

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.”

As well as the chat show, there’s a number of one-of-a-kind auction items up for grabs, including a Yamaha MotoGP pit tour, a raffle and a hot roast.
