Do you ride to work, cycle on the weekends or take a spin class? If you love to ride but the idea of completing the Hawaiian Ride Youth is a little daunting, you could still be helping Youth Focus in the prevention of youth suicide and depression. ‘How’ you ask? Through the Virtual Ride, our newest fundraising event.

The Virtual Ride challenges participants to ride 24 hours during the month of March to replicate the 700kms our 88 riders will cover from 27th – 31st March. The Virtual Ride was born from our annual Hawaiian Ride for Youth where riders push the limits to ride from Albany to Perth in only 5 days. They are a passionate group of volunteers and committed fundraisers who support our work in the prevention of youth suicide and depression. Not everyone can take part in the Hawaiian Ride for Youth, which makes the Virtual Ride a great opportunity to test your own strength on the bike. You don’t have to be super fit, just committed. The unique thing about the Virtual Ride is that your hours can be clocked on the road, in the gym or even in a spin class, whatever is most convenient for you.

When registering to take part you can also select a Rider or Team from the Hawaiian Ride for Youth for your funds to be allocated to once you have completed the Virtual Ride.  It is a great way to raise money for Youth Focus and also friends taking part in the Hawaiian Ride for Youth!

Thanks to the generous support of Rider Barb de Corti, ENJO will be offering an amazing 5 night luxurious getaway to the Cable Beach Broome Resort valued at $5,000 to the Virtual Rider who raises the most money!
