Ride4Lives Suicide Awareness Ride

Ride4Lives connects the community with training and service providers to help become better at listening and supporting people who may be directly or indirectly affected by suicide.

Ride4Lives was established in September 2017 with the aim of ensuring all the funds raised in the region were used locally to help support people who were affected by suicide. Further to this, Ride4Lives helps reduce the stigma around suicide by giving the community a safe and supportive place to talk. President of Ride4Lives, Mark Brookes said, “Out of the rising suicide rates in the Gladstone region, particularly with men, the focus was to create a local support group with the aim of reducing these rates by social connection.”
