Story
Meet our wee James!
James McLaren is 15 years old and an up and coming motorbike star, what with his mechanical skills, determination and dreams of riding in the TT one day he is sure to go far. Not to mention the way he handles the bike like a pro beyond his young years. James is already winning races and Scottish Championships, taking home 5 wins of 5 races just a few weeks ago at Knockhill. Today at East Fortune James wasn't so lucky when his leg got in a fight with the tyre and it spat him off. James is ok, all be it a little sore, the bike is fixable, but his leathers, helmet and gloves weren't so lucky. James and his Dad Garry run a small humble race team with little sponsorship so these necessary but expensive items aren't so easy to come by. Might i add every one of them did their job today for James! In 3 weeks time, James is racing at Knockhill again, with every chance of winning the Scottish Championship if he brings home the wins once more. Without leathers, a helmet and some gloves, James can't race and will miss out on his chance of the championship. So i am asking you all to please dig deep and help out this humble young man achieve his dreams. I promise you he is one to watch!
