PRESS RELEASE
“Father and Son, expert and novice, to embark on motorcycle journey across the African continent in aid of charity”
After eight years apart, a complete motorcycle novice, and his experienced father, aim to rebuild their relationship and test their skills, as they journey on their motorcycles from South Africa up the east coast of Africa to France. Departing from Port Elizabeth in February 2008, the journey will span over eight thousand miles to Paris, France, through fifteen different countries, where militia conflict, tribes vie for supremacy, and death from landmines, malaria and aids are a daily occurrence. Their fundraising for the charity, Riders for Health, will not only raise funds for healthcare workers in Africa, but awareness of the harrows and hardships of African life.
Mike Bateman, a recent Outdoor Adventure Honours degree graduate, said, “I know it is an extreme challenge having never ridden a motorcycle before, but I’m confident that in five months I can prepare myself both physically and mentally for this trip.”
The younger of the duo, at age 22, Mike Bateman, will be doing his motorcycle training and practical test in the week starting the 27th August 2007, before flying out in early September to begin the task of honing his enduro riding skills and preparing for the trip under the watchful eye of his recently retired pharmacist father.
