The Hawaiian Ride for Youth is Australia’s premier charity event for the prevention of youth suicide and depression and is aimed at supporting young people and their families.

Our client, David Lantzke CEO of Ardross Group, was a proud rider in this huge fundraising effort and the journey itself peddling 700+ kilometres from Albany to Perth on bicycle. What a excellent effort by the riders, organisers, and also to those that supported them in this quest to assist more young people improve their mental health.

This year was the 20th anniversary for the Hawaiian Ride for Youth and they raised a record-breaking $2.9 million to support the mental health of young Western Australians. 

On their journey the riders stop at high schools to engage the students in the issues of youth suicide, depression and self harm and the services that Youth Focus provides. The riders also share their personal stories and experiences as many have been touched in some way by these very personal issues.

Although the ride provides opportunity for personal growth and achievement, particularly for persons who do not come from a cycling background, the main objective of the ride is always a charitable one. Find out more on how you can get envolved - Make a Donation.
