Last year's ride saw nearly 5,000 Black Dog Riders hit the highways in support of the cause, while this year's ride event has already raised over $23,000 in funds.
The ride's founder Steve Andrews, who lost his mother to suicide, said:
"Depression is an illness, not a weakness and effective treatments are available. If we talk about depression and work together, we can make a difference."
If you want to get out and ride in support of this very worthy cause, registration is still open for riders and pillions around Australia. To register, go to https://1dayer2014.eventbrite.com.au.
