A Heartfelt Thank You as Motorcycle Outreach Closes After Two Decades

Dear Valued Donors and Volunteers,

As Motorcycle Outreach approaches the end of its two decades of operation, we want to take this opportunity to express our deepest and most sincere gratitude for your incredible support, dedication, and generosity over the years. It is with a mix of reflection and immense pride that we announce our planned closure, knowing that the work we have undertaken together has had a profound and lasting impact.

For twenty years, Motorcycle Outreach has been driven by a single, powerful vision, a vision first ignited by our founder, Simon Milward: to support the vital work of the Health For All Foundation, Yayasan Kesehatan untuk Semua (YKS), in Larantuka, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. From humble beginnings, YKS embarked on a mission to deliver primary healthcare by motorcycle to the most remote communities across the Flores islands, where access was otherwise incredibly challenging. You, our incredible supporters, have been instrumental in making this vision a reality.

Every mile ridden by a YKS healthcare worker, every clinic reached, every life touched – these successes are a testament to your unwavering belief in our mission. Your financial contributions, volunteer hours, and unwavering commitment have fueled the expansion of YKS’s vital programs, reaching far beyond initial motorcycle healthcare delivery. Together, we have witnessed YKS grow to encompass a wide range of initiatives – from essential primary healthcare services and critical disease prevention programmes to invaluable social support networks for communities in need.

Whether you have been a long-time donor, a dedicated volunteer contributing your time and skills, or a passionate advocate for our cause, your support has been the bedrock of our success. You have directly enabled YKS to:

• Reach isolated communities: Providing healthcare access to those often forgotten and underserved. 

• Improve primary healthcare: Delivering vital services and reducing health disparities. Prevent and manage diseases: 

• Strengthening community resilience and well-being. Empower local communities: Supporting a local, Indonesian-led initiative and fostering sustainable healthcare solutions.

We are immensely proud of the partnership we forged with YKS and the enduring impact they continue to have. Their work, born from a local need and driven by local expertise, stands as a powerful example of sustainable and community-focused development. As Motorcycle Outreach closes, we take immense comfort in knowing that YKS’s vital work will continue to flourish, deeply rooted in the communities they serve and supported by the foundations we have built together, inspired by Simon Milward's original vision.

While Motorcycle Outreach will no longer operate, the legacy of your support, and Simon Milward's initial spark, will live on through the continued success of Yayasan Kesehatan untuk Semua. We encourage you to learn more about YKS and their ongoing work. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for believing in Motorcycle Outreach, for believing in Yayasan Kesehatan untuk Semua, and for believing in the power of healthcare to transform lives. We are eternally grateful for the journey we have shared with you.

With sincere gratitude,

The Motorcycle Outreach Team
