Riders for Health

Riders and Motorcycling

Motorcycle Racing Changes the World …

The movement that would develop into Riders for Health began in the motorcycling GP paddock as a fundraising effort by Randy Mamola. Randy was particularly interested in helping disadvantaged children. Following a trip to Somalia when it became clear that motorcycles could play a leading role in delivering health care, Randy and Andrea and Barry Coleman began to involve more riders, among them Kenny Roberts Sr. and Wayne Rainey. At this point motorcycling became the only sport ever to have given rise to a major humanitarian organization.

What Riders did was to develop a vehicle management system that ensures people in the developing world have completely reliable access to health care – just as they would be anywhere in the developed world. Better yet, most health care professionals in Africa use the very thing that binds the motorcycling community together -- the motorcycle. It’s natural for motorcyclists to help their fellow bikers. And now we are sharing that impulse with the world in general.

We would like to thank the motorcycle community for all of their support, we simply would not be where we are today without you.
