MonteCarloThere is now less than a day to go before the close of the main charity auction of more than 60 items of World and Olympic athletics memorabilia which have been donated by numerous legends of our sport, in aid of three United Nations organisations, FAO, UNICEF and WFP.
Check out – http://www.iaaf.org/AFABW for further information.
With nearly 1500 bids received in total from athletics fans around the world during the last nine days, the vast majority of auction lots will close and be sold at 8am GMT on Thursday 26 January, though a late donation by Hicham El Guerrouj will remain open until Monday 30 January.
So the next few hours are your very last chance to buy pieces of unique sporting history, and at the same time to assist the IAAF’s humanitarian project ‘Athletics for a Better World: The IAAF Stars’ Donation Fund’.
