This is how I became aware of the auction. Murphy Reinschreiber of PCH Sports is involved with the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, which is held at the beginning of each December. PCH Sports also represents athletes like Peter Reid, Lori Bowden, Simon Lessing, and Luke Bell. These athletes, along with those who have raced the LPT, wanted to help the victims. Murphy sent an email out to the industry folks asking for donations to be auctioned. Many in the triathlon community have done just that...CytoSport, DeSoto, Xterra Wetsuits, Splish Swimwear and IMNA. While I can't speak on the way the auction is set-up, know that I, on behalf of ASICS, have donated items to be auctioned, and have registered myself...there are some cool things on there that I'd like.
