Riders charity bags two Royal awards

Riders for Health, the motorcycling charity which works to provide transport for medicine in Africa, has won the Prince Michael of Kent Road Safety Award for 2002 in two categories – the motorcycle industry award and the international award.

MCIA president Steven Norris presented the awards to the charity’s Andrea Coleman at the NEC Show.

Norris said: ” More people die from road accidents in Southern Africa than AIDS. The charity has provided necessary transport for medicine and doctors and taught road safety as well. ”

It has already been named 2001 Charity of the Year by Charity Finance Magazine.

Support the charity in their on-line auction. You’ll find an auction for Colin Edwards’ leathers in News and WSB News.
