Marmont's MXon gear raises $4050 for Harley Quinlan

The gear went up for Ebay auction and was won by the Raynor family of Queensland with a bid of $4050 for the pant and jersey set signed by Jay.

The Raynor's are a motocross family, with son Reece a star of the GMR-Motorex KTM team, and were only too happy to purchase the gear and help in raising funds for Quinlan.

"Jay has become a role model and icon of the sport with his success and professionalism, while Harley is a rider and person that we really look up to. What has happened to Harley is heartbreaking, but to see him today has been great and knowing this money will assist him to live a better life is the reason why we bid for it. We will frame the gear and hang it with pride in our house," Melissa Raynor said upon receiving the one-off set of Fox gear.

Quinlan severed his spinal cord in a training accident on November 9th. He lost all feeling from the chest down and his now in the Spinal Ward of the PA Hospital in Brisbane.

"I just can't say thank you enough to Jay and the Raynor family for what they've done. The spirit we have in the motocross community is amazing and I don't know how to thank everyone for what they have done to assist me," said Quinlan, who has been overwhelmed by the support and encouragement he's received since his injury.

Jay Marmont was also on hand to present the gear to Reece and meet the Raynor family.

"Over $4000 is a great sum of money we have been able to raise for Harley. His injury affected everyone in racing and I hope this money goes a little way to making his life a bit easier in the future", Marmont said.

A trust fund has also been set up in Harley's name. All donations will be greatly appreciated by the Quinlan family and go directly to assisting Harley's long road to recovery.
