Simon Milward passed away following an accident on the afternoon of the 4th of March 2005 near the city of Kayes, Mali, West Africa. We keep these web pages online as a record of his journey - to inspire, to inform, to recognise what he achieved. The fund-raising initiative Simon started during the trip is being continued by his family and friends as www.MotorcycleOutreach.org

The event is a major opportunity to redress some of these imbalances by raising funds for humanitarian medical aid organisations Médecins Sans Frontières and the Flores Project.
