A local print company ran a competition for the ultimate TT shot and Max Arthur, ( then 11 years old ), won a canvas of his picture. Max then suggested selling it or auctioning it for a charity because he wanted someone or something to benefit from it.
The Simon Andrews Fund was mentioned and Max agreed straight away.
The auction finished on Senior Manx Grand Prix Day and was won by Mr Matt Riehle who is a Canadian living in Japan. He won this excellent canvas with a very generous bid of £250.
Max is a very talented young man and for him to donate the sale of this picture to help the Simon Andrews Fund is extremely generous. He now aims to do more photography and hopefully sell his canvases on Ebay after next year’s TT, with a view to helping the Fund even more.
The Simon Andrews Fund was set up in memory of Simon, who died in May of last year racing at the Northwest 200. Time is key when you have a packed racing schedule and the Simon Andrews Fund has set up various avenues of treatments enabling riders to return to racing in the shortest period of time.
The Fund would like to thank Max for his inspirational photograph of Bruce Ansty and donating the money raised to the Fund and also thanks to Matt for bidding and winning it!
With love
Dee, Claire, James and Stuart Andrews
