Ducati and Suomy are collaborating on a project to support the Riders for Health charity with a special, limited edition motorcycle helmet.

The Suomy Vandal helmet was designed to celebrate the 2006 World Superbike Championship victory of Troy Bayliss.

The first helmet, called the Suomy Vandal number “Zero” will be signed directly by Troy Bayliss during the EICMA exhibition and it will then be on display in the Ducati Museum.

The limited edition Suomy Vandal costs 529.00 Euro (~$685.00) and a portion of the amount will be donated to the to Riders for Health association.  Everyone who purchases a helmet will also receive a complimentary T-shirt, one of the Troy Bayliss victory T-shirts that the Ducati Corse staff made especially for Troy to ride on his victory lap at the Imola race track in 2006.

About Riders for Health
Riders for Health have worked for over 15 years on the problem of delivery systems for healthcare in Africa.  They work with ministries of health, UN agencies and other organizations.

Their main resource center is in the UK while their program staff are all nationals of the countries in which they work. 

Riders for Health is an international non-profit organization born out of the world of motorcycle racing.  They understand that transportation is the core of any logistical problems in Africa, so they have developed a practical, dynamic approach which is achieving real, sustainable development.

This innovative work is managed by wholly-African teams, and means that health care in these areas is never undermined by vehicles failing, no matter how harsh the conditions.  Riders for Health is helping nearly 11 million people across Africa to have the basic health care we take for granted in the developed world, giving them the chance to fight disease and look forward to a healthier future.
