Ross urges bikers to get behind Riders' appeal

Comedian and motorcycle fanatic Ross Noble is encouraging bikers to support Riders for Health’s new appeal and help save lives in Africa.

"I urge everybody to get behind Riders’ new appeal," says Ross. "I’ve seen their work in Kenya so I know the difference a motorcycle makes to a rural community in Africa."

Riders for Health is backed by motorcyclists all over the world and is the official charity of MotoGP™. They manage motorcycles and ambulances that are used in delivering health care to people living in remote places in Africa. With reliable vehicles that never break down, health care workers are able to reach isolated communities with vital vaccines, treatment, and education.  Weise has been the clothing supplier of choice for Riders for Health for many years.

Now the UK Government is matching all donations to Riders for Health until September 12th, giving your support twice the impact.

The money raised by this appeal will help Riders to increase their crucial work, improving access to health care for thousands of people across Africa. The matched funding from the government will be particularly focused on mobilising health workers in Zambia and Kenya.

In 2010, Ross helped to raise an incredible £42,000 on his UK tour, donating all of the proceeds from sales of a limited edition poster. Riders for Health had volunteers at each of his shows and audiences up and down the country generously donated every night of the three-month tour.
