Long Way Down & Riders For Health

Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman once again hit the road less traveled for another unforgettable journey in Long Way Down, a series soon to be featured on BBC in the fall. The motorcycle adventure tour took the pair all the way from John O’Groats in Scotland to Cape Town in Africa. A meaningful stop in their travels was at the AID Village Clinic in the Mbirikani region of Kenya, where they got a hands on look at how motorcycles are making a difference. They joined the Riders for Health deliver much needed medical supplies to nearby villages and learned more about the maintenance, prep and training of the Riders team. Both stars were clearly in awe and humbled by the realization of how important the organization is to the people of rural Africa.

“The problem in Africa is that people can't necessarily get to the hospitals to get the medicines as they are four, five or six hours walk away,” said Ewan. “So these riders here are saving lives. We have been amazed at the work that Riders have been doing and we are blown away by it.”
