“When asked why would I want to donate the proceeds from my book to RDF, as a physician and team doctor for the Dakar rally for the last 5 years, I have been directly involved in many situations where the riders are injured and often in need of help from organizations like RiderDown. This is not the first time Chasing Dakar books have helped those in need, as RDF was able to auction off special autographed copies of Chasing Dakar to help those riders in need.” says Dr. Edwards.

Bruce Vermeulen, president of RiderDown, states, “We are honored to be recognized by Dr. Edwards for the work we do at RiderDown. He truly understands how great the need is for assistance to injured riders and their families. This is a very generous move on his part and we hope everyone will add this book to their collection!”

About RiderDown Foundation:

With a nationwide network of volunteers ready to lend support and assistance to injured riders, RiderDown is actively giving back to the off road community. As a non-profit, 501©3 charitable organization, RiderDown has been delivering on its mission of “Helping Riders Up” since 2005. Dedicated to helping responsible off-road motorcyclists and ATV racers who have been injured while riding, proceeds are used to provide assistance to riders and their families when faced with medical expenses and related issues. The medical bill review team they work with has saved injured riders thousands of dollars on excessive and/or unnecessary medical charges and their “Angels” visit injured riders in the hospital and at home, offering a friendly voice during difficult times.
