Riders for Health Charity Auction at Motorcycle Live

The last day of this year’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live at The NEC ended with an auction in aid of Riders for Health to support reliable transport for health workers in rural communities of Africa. Riders for Health ambassador and racing legend Randy Mamola was joined by Steve Parrish and James Whitham to encourage the bids.

World Superbike stars Troy Corser, Leon Haslam and Jonathan Rea and Moto2 contender Bradley Smith were also on hand to help.

Visitors were able to bid on various memorabilia signed by the World’s top racing stars – including a Jorge Lorenzo-signed replica X-Lite helmet and a printed canvas complete with the autographs of Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa and Lorenzo. The auction raised almost £5,000 with the most money being generated from the sale of a Tissot watch signed by almost the entire MotoGP paddock.

“The auction worked really well for the charity and I want to thank everybody, from the racers to the fans, for their support,”
said Riders for Health ambassador Randy Mamola. “This has been a perfect end to a great, great event.”

“Awesome, absolutely awesome. I am disappointed with the bad weather, but while I can fix a lot of things, I can’t fix that. The entire event has been a brilliant experience for us and I hope it has been a brilliant experience for everyone involved – exhibitors and visitors alike. We look to welcoming everybody back for the same again – and much more – next year,” stated Managing Director of Event organisers MCI Exhibitions Finlay McAllan.
