Thousands raised to support family of Daniel Ingham

Rider died following TT qualifying incident last week

Thousands of pounds have been raised to support the family of a rider who died during this year's Isle of Man TT Races.

Thirty-three-year-old Daniel Ingham from Melton Mowbray lost his life in an incident Doran's Bend on the Snaefell Mountain Course on Wednesday, 27 May.

Since then, a fundraising campaign has been launched to help Mr Ingham's wife and children, with donations now at nearly £22,000.

Those behind the GoFundMe effort say any donations received will go 'directly to Helayna, Joey and Phoebe at such a difficult time', adding 'Dan was a much loved husband, daddy, brother, son and friend to so many people.'

Following the incident last week, the Isle of Man TT Races said: "Daniel made his Mountain Course debut in 2016 as a competitor in the Manx Grand Prix before graduating to the Isle of Man TT Races. 

"He had achieved a number of podium finishes during his 10 years’ experience of competing – most notably achieving a 1st place in the 2024 Senior Manx Grand Prix.

"The Isle of Man TT Races pass on their deepest sympathy to his wife, Helayna, and his son Joey and daughter Phoebe, as well as his family and friends."

Separately, Mr Ingham's wife, Helayna is appealing for memories and photos of Daniel, so that their children can continue to remember him as they grow older.
