WDD biker raising money for Life for a Child
An Australian rider, Youcef Cummings, is piloting the World Diabetes Day motorcycle, which will compete in World Cross Country Rally events and other regional events throughout Africa and the Middle East in 2008.
Youcef plans to compete in four races during the year. The first race will take place in Tunisia on 23 April and will be staged through the deserts of Tunisia and Libya, starting in Marseilles, France. The event is over 9 days, covering more than 3000 km through the Tunisian desert and into the sand dunes of Libya.
Youcef wants to use the races to raise awareness of diabetes, particularly in the Middle East, where the disease is a significant problem. His motorcycle is a great way to do this.
You can support Youcef and the IDF Life for a Child Program by making a donation.
