Ambassador Vanessa Ruck (The Girl on a Bike) joined us on the stand introducing the crowds to what we do alongside our amazing crew of volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, donated and spent time finding out more and supporting our life-saving work. All funds raised will be used to support transport for healthcare programmes in Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria and The Gambia, getting vital services to vulnerable communities who desperately need it.

Being invited to be the official charity of Goodwood Festival of Speed was a dream come true. Seeing new ambassadors, Yamaha riders Pol Tarrés and Alessandro Botturi ride the Hill Climb with co-founder and MotoGP legend Randy Mamola and long time supporter King Kenny Roberts was a special moment that illustrated how the great things we have achieved have always been made possible with the support of the world of motorsport.
