Tom Boonen is putting his Tour de France points classification green jersey under the hammer for a good cause. The jersey, from this year's Tour, is being auctioned with proceeds going to the To Walk Again foundation, set-up by Marc Herremans to help support research into spinal cord injury. Herremans has organised an indoor cycling marathon in the Belgian city of Oostende on November 10, with all proceeds going towards the foundation which was established after Herremans fell in Lanzarote in 2002, leaving him in a wheelchair.
