I love it when a group of people with a common interest team up to do something. If you ride a motorcycle, or even just dream of riding a motorcycle, this one is for you. Check out Two Wheels for Life. They work in Africa where reliable transportation and infrastructure just doesn’t exist for many people. Think about it. Say you have medical supplies and personnel available, but they have no way to get around. This is where this organization can help. A donation of $500 provides all the tools needed to maintain a health worker’s motorcycle for its lifetime.
