Youth suicide and mental health are acute issues in our community - made worse by the impact of living under the cloud of COVID.
2022 will be the 10th time I saddle up for the Ride for Youth, coinciding with the 20th year the event has been run - an incredible milestone and reason to celebrate its impact on the thousands of vulnerable young lives that it has touched.
All money raised goes to Youth Focus, a phenomenal organisation that provides unlimited free and confidential counselling to young people in need. A big thank you to everyone who has donated and helped fund these activities. By way of reference, it costs approximately $3,000 to provide counselling to a young client for the typical 6-month period spent with Youth Focus. This year Youth Focus will help over 4,000 people.
Thank you for supporting me and this great cause - your generous donation will make a real difference to the life of a vulnerable young person.
