The Team

The Hawaiian Ride For Youth teams have been training for 20 weeks in the lead up the ride next week .
Major sponsor Hawaiian group are committed to making a difference to the people of W.A. connecting places to people. Social connectedness is a vital ingredient to resilience.

We are all passionate about the prevention of youth suicide, depression and self-harm. Knowing that each and every teenage suicide affects hundreds of people; families and friends. It is important we encourage young people to talk and seek help and show the support out there for them.

There are 4 ride routes of just over 45 riders in each and we ride across the south west and down from Geraldton seeing and presenting to approximately 23 schools and communities on the way.
