Riders for Health gets a boost
MotoGP tyre supplier Bridgestone has announced a partnership with the world championship's official charity in their efforts to improve health care within AfricaRiders for Health manages motorcycles and ambulances for health-focused partners in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, with Bridgestone’s support, riders will be able to mobilise more health workers enabling them to deliver vital health care to remote rural communities.
Bridgestone will provide tyres for the fleet of vehicles managed by Riders for Health in Africa, and will also support fundraising throughout the MotoGP season.
"The partnership with Bridgestone is important and significant. The MotoGP paddock has long supported Riders for Health, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for our life-saving work across Africa,” said Riders’ CEO and co-founder Andrea Coleman.
“Now, Bridgestone, MotoGP and Riders are showing that tyres are as critical a factor at the highest level of motor sport as they are to reaching the world’s most neglected people with health care. With partners like this, combined with the skill of Riders’ African colleagues we are closer to seeing a world where health care reaches everyone, everywhere."
