On the 10th Anniversary of the ride that inspired a nation, Black Dog Riders will embark on a 15,700km epic journey of personal discovery and community awareness.
In 2009, after the suicide of a loved one, Steve saddled up and set out to raise awareness of depression. 10 years later his visionary act has grown into a nationally respected Australian mental health charity involving hundreds of community leaders with lived experience organising activities each year, all with one aim: to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention.
THE JOURNEY
On July 26th 2019, Black Dog Ride will be departing from Busselton WA, the original departure date and location in 2009.
Those who would love to join us but can't get the time off work or commit the funds are encouraged to join us on our State Rides, and Around Australia Riders will meet up with them during the lap of our nation. There is room on the full lap for you, register today!
THE CAUSE
Support our intrepid adventurers as they undertake a life changing journey to empower communities around Australia by shining a beacon of hope into the shadows to leash the black dog of depression.
All funds raised will be put into Black Dog Ride's Community Funding Pool to fund small grants across the nation for projects which lead to positive mental health outcomes in our communities.
