This week on Racing Back, Nick Harris and Julian Ryder are joined by the fantastic Andrea Coleman, co-founder and CEO of Two Wheels for Life, the official charity of MotoGP and the FIM.

And this is a rather different – and very special – motorcycle story.

For more than three decades, Andrea has been helping harness the extraordinary passion and generosity of the motorcycle racing community to support healthcare programmes in Africa.

Through unique MotoGP events, auctions, memorabilia and incredible fan experiences, Two Wheels for Life raises money to support transport systems that enable healthcare workers to reach some of the most remote communities.

At the centre of it all is something wonderfully simple:

Motorcycles can save lives.

Andrea takes Nick and Jules through the origins of the organisation, its extraordinary relationship with MotoGP, the support it receives from riders, teams and fans, and how the money raised by the motorcycle community is turned into practical help on the ground.

It's a fascinating story about what can happen when a sport and its community come together with a shared purpose.

And it's a reminder that the impact of motorcycle racing can extend a very long way beyond the chequered flag.

Another very special episode of Racing Back.
