On 31 July, Tri4Japan launched their charity auction on eBay and have had a fantastic response with over 500 bids already place for 60 items. There are still three days until the initial auction ends so plenty of time to place bids to win some superb new items and celebrity signed items.
But the auction doesn't end there – starting as of 19:00 BST on 4 August an additional 18 items have been added including:
· Ellie Goulding custom designed Nike LunarElite+ ID shoes autographed by Ellie
· Adidas Supernova Riot shoes signed by Jonathan Brownlee

Mike Trees, founder of Tri4Japan said, "We're truly amazed at the response we've had to our auction. From the generosity of the auction item donors, brands and individuals alike to the fantastic support we've received from the triathlon press in helping us to spread the word and of course the thousands of individuals who have visited the auction.
