On Wednesday June 16 the final section of the Pictures4health auction will be launched at e-bay. Pictures4health is a Belgian charity that supports children who are seriously ill through ‘Make a Wish New Zealand’ and the Olivia fund.

In support of the Pictures4health cause sports photographer Stefan Geukens has produced a coffee table book called Blink of an eye. The book was launched at a unique gala event last year on the 23rd of September. Additionally a series of on-line auctions with collector’s items of well-known sports personalities was organized. Both the sale of the book and the auctions have generated a significant amount of money (and publicity) for the charities.
 
To check what’s available in the final part of the auction on e-bay just type in
 P4H and you will receive the list of all items. Here’s a selection of the top items:

- Threefold motocross world champion Tony Cairoli offers the gear he wore last year when he claimed the MX1 title in Lierop.
- Max Nagl offers his Red Bull helmet and race shirt.

- Football club VC Westerlo has offered a complete kit decorated with signatures of their players.

However the bulk of this last auction is reserved for the greatest motocross rider ever: Stefan Everts. The Legend  offered a variety of collectors items that spans his recordsetting career with helmets, racepants, race shirts, unique T-shirts, trophy’s and so on…

Stefan Everts and Stefan Geukens, who have closely worked together for many years, have decided to split the revenue of Everts’ items to his personal charity Everts and Friends, a world-level charity race taking place on the 21st of  July. Everts and Friends collects funds for: Een hart voor Limburg, Make A Wish Belgium-Vlaanderen, Begeleidingscentrum Ter Heide and Fondation Kriibskrank. All of these pieces have never been offered before and they represent an amazing opportunity to collectors worldwide! Make sure to grab your piece of sporting history.
