Australia
The Hawaiian Ride for Youth is one of Australia’s premier charity events. Held annually over 5 days, riders travel from Albany to Perth covering over 700kms to raise money for Youth Focus. While cycling through towns in WA’s South-West, Great Southern and Wheatbelt, the riders visit high schools to engage and inform students on issues of youth suicide, depression and self-harm, and the services that Youth Focus provides.
Established in 1994, Youth Focus is a Western Australian not for profit organisation that provides free yet professional services to young people 12-25 years old who are showing signs associated with suicide, depression and self-harm. Youth Focus operates within the Perth metropolitan area and from regional areas including Rockingham, Mandurah, Bunbury, Albany and Geraldton. The opening of these regional offices was made possible partly by monies raised by the riders of the Hawaiian Ride for Youth.
The 2016 Hawaiian Ride for Youth will depart Albany on Tuesday 5 April 2021 and travel approximately 700km through the South-West, finishing in Perth on Saturday 9 April 2016. Along the way our Riders will visit around 20 High Schools and engage with around 3,000 students.
