The fight against tuberculosis By improving transport for health systems in Africa, Riders for Health is helping give ministries of health the tools they need to deal with a wide range of vital health issues. Riders for Health is posting a series of new reports that will show how reliable transport is impacting on specific health areas. In the first report we look at the different ways in which reliable transport is helping to prevent or treat tuberculosis. The report shows that 86% of all health workers mobilised by Riders for Health are involved in preventing or treating tuberculosis as part of their role. Thanks to a reliable motorcycle or four-wheeled vehicle health workers can provide education, disease surveillance, diagnosis and treatment in even the most isolated communities.

MotoGP stars and fans raise €27,000 at Valencia Hundreds of people came out to support the official charity of MotoGP at Riders for Health’s annual fundraising event, Dià de los Campeones, at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia on Thursday 3rd November. Despite the rain, dedicated fans were able to see MotoGP teams gearing up for the final race of the 2011 season. The riders and fans also helped to raise thousands of Euros as stars from all three racing classes took to the stage to auction off signed t-shirts, caps, racing boots and gloves. Dani Pedrosa was joined on stage by two female fans who read a moving letter in memory of MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli who was tragically killed in a racing accident at the Malaysian grand prix. Everyone in the crowd was in agreement when the girls said Marco’s untimely death was a loss to the whole motorsport community. The traditional Day of Champions ride-in to the circuit was lead by Riders’ co-founder, Randy Mamola, who was also joined by Red Dwarf actor Danny John-Jules, BBC MotoGP presenter Matt Roberts and Yamaha dealer Steve Keys. The trio had just completed their Viva Valencia motorcycle adventure in aid of Riders for Health. Matt Roberts was riding the Yamaha R1 ridden by Jorge Lorenzo on a parade lap at the 2010 Isle of Man TT. The Yamaha has been signed and will be one of the star lots at the Arai auction, at Motorcycle Live on Sunday 20th November where its sale will help to support Riders for Health’s work in Africa. Riders for Health would like to thank all the teams, riders, circuits and everyone at MotoGP for their support throughout the season. It is thanks to the support of MotoGP that Riders for Health are able to provide access to health care for over 10 million men, women and children across rural Africa. For more information or to support the Viva Valencia trip, visit www.motoventures.co.uk. Fundraisers of the month Riders for Health is incredibly lucky to have so many dedicated supporters who work hard to raise money and raise awareness for our important work in Africa.

We would like to say a huge thank you for your fundraising efforts which are helping us to mobilise more health workers across rural Africa with reliable transport.
