George, I must correct some of what you say. Firstly there is already a very generous fund which helps riders, officials and others involved in all forms of motorcycle sport here on the Island. It is the ACU BEN Fund, administered by Wyn Evans. Many, many people have been helped over the years, and continue to be. The BEN Fund is under great pressure at the moment, with major demands on its funds and less money being given as people are hard up. There will be a big fundraising drive for the BEN soon.
I must also correct you on the Joey Dunlop Foundation which is not and never was a fund for the purpose you suggest. It was constituted to raise funds to provide an accessible building for disabled riders and others to stay here for the TT, MGP, and holiday breaks. It has acquired Braddan Bridge House and is in the process of having it adapted for that.
