IRON MAIDEN AUCTION MEMORABILIA FOR CHARITY=20
British rockers IRON MAIDEN have proved their generosity to their most lo= yal followers - by donating memorabilia to an online charity auction acce= ssible only to members of the band’s fan club.
Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood is training for a fundraising bike ri= de in Egypt later this month (Jan10) to raise money for Childline and Nor= doff Robbins Music Therapy, which gives disabled children a musical outle= t.
And the Run to the Hills hitmakers are lending a hand, by auctioning me= morabilia including rocker Adrian Smith’s guitar, a signed poster for the= DVD release of their Flight 666 tour, and a personalised USA platinum di= sc - the proceeds of which will go to the two charities.
. The 15-day auction, which kicks off on 2 February (10), is exclusivel= y open to members of the band’s fan club on IronMaiden.com.
Smallwood tells Blabbermouth.net: "This is a twist on us ‘getting off o= ur backsides’ and doing something to really help as we will be staying on= them most of the time, propelling our mountain bikes forward to raise as= much money as we can for these two very deserving children’s charities."=
