> wider motorcycling community, Riders is helping nearly 11 million
> people across Africa to have the basic health care we take for
> granted, giving them the chance to fight disease and look forward to a
> healthier future.

> Riders for Health co-founder Randy Mamola on the work of Riders for
> Health:
> ‘The first Riders for Health Day (2007) was fantastic and everyone had
> a great time. I am sure that this year we can raise even more money to
> support this really important work. You can spend all the money in the
> world for vaccines, condoms and mosquito nets, but unless you can
> actually get them to the people who need them, they’re useless. That’s
> where motorcycles come in. It’s the same tool that helped me get to
> where I am today that’s helping save people’s lives.’
