More than Dirt-Motocross Supporting Abruzzo, the auction powered by Italian media MxNews.net to help the Abruzzo people hit by the recent earthquake, is now open and can be joined on eBay.
After collecting much material from the FIM Motocross World Championship collective in Valkenswaard, MxNews.net will sell the whole lot through an eBay auction which started off yesterday, May 7, and will end 10 days after, May 17.
The money raised through the auction will be given to the Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian Red Cross www.cri.it), a medical institution which has been really helpful since the coming of the disaster on April 6. The Italian government and all the other institutions involved in the operations have committed themselves to give everyone a decent home by the end of the summer.
