Ride for Life! RIde for Youth! 42 days, 13,000+ kms round Oz

This blog is devoted to raising awareness of Youth Suicide so that it can be prevented.

The blog will track Joe's progress on his 42 day treck round Australia on a motorbike as he gathers support for this cause.

Australia has the highest incidence of Youth Suicide in the world. The major cause of suicide is a lack of connectedness to family, friends and community.

We want to get people excited about connecting with our young people so they don't feel isolated, depressed and hopeless. We want people to care enough about this problem to do somehthng about preventing it, not just picking up the peices afterwards.

Check out the website for details about the trip and for information about Youth Suicide: http://www.ozzieroadtrip.com/

If you're concerned about someone seek professional advice (see links at right).

We want you to get involved so check the blog daily for updates and send your own posts to the blog. Tell other people about this issue, get people excited about saving our Youth from depression and thinking that suicide is an option.

Day 12 Wednesday 25th June Norseman - Kalgoolie

Day 12 25th June Norseman/Kalgoolie

After a good nights sleep I was woken by one of my well intentioned mates calling from Sydney to see how I was traveling; he was just starting his 8:00am (Sydney Time) meeting and.wanted an update. Just a reminder there is a 2 hour time difference, so much for the sleep in, thanks Tony and Mark.

The plan today is to meet with one of the local newspapers to talk about Youth Mental Health and later attend a mens BBQ and pursue the awareness campaign…..

Stay tuned for an up-date

Joe
