Racing stars rally to help South Australian toddler

Boots and gloves donated by Scott McLaughlin are among a long list of auction items

Boots and gloves donated by Scott McLaughlin are among a long list of auction items

The greater Australian motorsport community has moved to support a South Australian three-year-old stricken with a rare form of terminal brain disease.

Noah Hopkins suffers from Leukodystrophy which sees symptoms that includes decreased motor function, muscle rigidity and a degeneration of sight and hearing.

A black tie dinner will be held at the West Adelaide Football Club tonight (April 2) to raise funds for the toddler.

Motorsport photographer Ash Budd has rallied to the cause helping to co-ordinate several key items from the V8 Supercars fraternity that will go up for auction at the dinner.

“The response from the motorsport fraternity has been terrific and it is still coming,” Budd said.

“Now we just need to have the motorsport fans around Australia get on to Facebook and put in their bids.”

Among the motorsport items up for grabs is the pair of race boots that Scott McLaughlin used in his first ever V8 Supercar win at Pukekohe in the GRM Fujitsu Holden in 2013.
