Luke Reardon in Australia has organised this fundraising appeal on behalf of Michaela Hurt, the partner of recently passed motocross racer, Joel Evans.

With a small family on the way and with the sudden passing her her partner, times might be a little tough. Maybe with the support of the industry, we can make this period a little easier?

The fiancee of a motocross star killed in a shocking crash at a competition on Sunday has revealed she was pregnant with his child in a heartbreaking social media post.

Michaela Hurt, Evans’ fiancee, revealed her pregnancy in a bittersweet tribute to her late partner, referring to her unborn child as their “silver lining”.

“Our beautiful Joely, a piece of you lives on,” Ms Hurt wrote in a social media post, referring to the child, due in October. Yesterday we lost the most incredible person on this earth. The most authentic, loved and kind hearted soul. He loved and devoted his life to this sport which brought him so much joy and he rode it out right till the end. We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support for our beautiful man. He is such a loved partner, uncle, brother, friend and son but most proudly a father to our adored little boy who is joining us in October.”

As most of you are aware on Sunday the 27th April we lost the life of our beloved Joely in a tragic accident doing what he loved. Joel was living his dream he had worked so hard for he was racing in Thailand and Australia and was about it to take off on a month holiday with his fiancé to Thailand and America to pursue his dream of racing an AMA national.

Before returning home to start setting up for his little son. Joel worked so hard always and more so this year to support his little family. Michaela has a long journey ahead of her as she now prepares to embark on this journey as a single mum.As those closest to Joel know his one wish was to ensure she was supported in every way possible.
