Carl Cox proud to be ambassador for TT fundraiser

Carl Cox has proudly teamed up with the Mannin Cancers Support Group to support a cancer charity initiative tied to the Isle of Man TT races. As an ambassador, Cox joins efforts to raise vital funds through the auction of 15 recreated iconic TT motorcycles, celebrating racing history while supporting cancer research.

Renowned dance music DJ and leader of the Isle of Man TT team, Carl Cox, has revealed his collaboration with a local cancer charity. Cox expressed feeling both "honored" and "very proud" to be associated with this meaningful initiative. The partnership is centered around the Mannin Cancers Support Group's Wheelie Good Cause, a project that merges the excitement of motorcycle racing with fundraising efforts to support a crucial cause.

The project celebrates the rich history of the Isle of Man TT races by recreating 15 iconic motorcycles. Each bike is designed to commemorate significant moments from the TT's storied past. One of these is the MD Racing Yamaha R6, which was ridden by Michael Dunlop to his record-breaking 29th TT victory. This motorcycle now proudly displays Carl Cox's team logo. Each of the 15 motorcycles is named after a legendary rider, including famed figures like John McGuinness and Joey Dunlop, Michael Dunlop's uncle.

These recreated bikes will be put up for auction during the 2026 TT event, with the goal of raising essential funds for the charity. The auction will be a key part of the fundraiser, with the main auction scheduled for May 29, 2026.

Carl Cox, who has been a long-time supporter of the TT races, shared his personal connection to this cause. "This is a cause that is very close to my heart," Cox stated. "I have lost family members and friends to cancer over the years, so being able to support the Mannin Cancers group is incredibly meaningful to me." He further expressed his eagerness to work with the charity: "I am excited to join the fantastic team of volunteers at Mannin Cancers in raising much-needed funds to help fight cancer on the Isle of Man."
