Black Dog Ride to the Red Centre 2011 has now finished

21 Aug 2011 - 27 Aug 2011

Enjoy the freedom of the open road, the unique camaraderie which bikers share and the feeling of being part of something which will make a difference. Whether you ride for a day or two or go the whole way to the Red Centre, you will become a Black Dog Rider and help to bring attention to this debilitating illness which affects 1 in 5 Australians.  

Depression impacts one in five Australians and according to the World Health Organisation, depression will be the leading cause of disability by 2030. Funds raised from the Black Dog Ride will be used to increase community education about mood disorders and provide help seeking strategies and resources. The Institute delivers a range of education seminars on mood disorders, wellbeing and related topics for adults and young people Australia wide.
