2014 Black Dog Ride - 1 Day Ride starts this weekend
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.
If you're not able to ride, but still want to support the Black Dog Ride - 1 Dayer, you can donate via the Black Dog Ride website - www.blackdogride.com.au.
