Ever called emergency services for support? How about visiting the doctor when you’re feeling sick? It’s something pretty common for many of us in the world, so common that my gut says we take it for granted – I know I did until I visited somewhere so dramatically different.
Recently I had the opportunity to travel through rural parts of The Gambia, Africa to see the amazing and impactful work that Two Wheels for Life do. They support the mobility of healthcare in areas where the roads would be considered more like a ‘fun enduro track’ to many of us. Without the 300+ motorcycles and 100+ vehicles many would be left with absolutely no medical help. The sounds of that two-stroke entering their village must be an incredible noise to hear.
If you have time, I would love for you to take a moment to watch and also please share this short 2-minute video with your friends for others to see. And help me spread the word about this incredible organisation. I hope that you also feel inspired by the work they do.
Every extra soul who sees this is a step towards greater awareness, support and hopefully donations. I hope I can use my channels to help spread the word, please help me by sharing.

For many people across Africa the only way of reaching medical care is to walk miles by foot, travel the bumpy roads on a donkey and cart or get pushed in a wheelbarrow. And many do not make it at all. Two Wheels for Life works to ensure healthcare reaches people in the poorest and most remote parts of Africa – using reliable, appropriate vehicles.
“I feel so fortunate to be able to explore the wonders of many parts of Africa while racing. These countries are incredible places to visit, but sadly the health care and transport infrastructure is far from ideal. By working with Two Wheels for Life I have the opportunity to give something back to the people in a part of the world where motorcycles and their effective use literally saves lives.”
