Hi
I am so excited to being back on the bike in 2026 after a few years off (not by choice). I learned a lot though and that learning relates to the struggles our kids face as they navigate this ever changing, fast paced world where your every move is documented in the public forum for better or worse.
I learned how exercise is so beneficial for your mental health and how important it is to keep moving. How community uplifts you and courage and resilience is necessary to face the world. I learned to take nothing for granted and in turn be forever grateful for the smallest of things. The sun on my face, my dogs and their effervescent personalities, my horse for his solid grounding that keeps me present and the love and support of my husband, my kids and my family and friends. Wherever I can provide this for others, I will also do my very best.
The Ride for Youth gives me this opportunity. To fundraise enough money so that Youth Focus can provide services that give our young people who are struggling with their mental health the same feeling of gratitude and safety that I have.
At some point we all struggle with mental health. As a young person who may not yet be equipped with the resources to be able to navigate these challenges, they can reach out and find them with the support of Youth Focus.
Thank you so much for donating to our team. I am looking forward to riding with my family; my husband, son, and cousins.
Wishing you and your family love and happiness.
Jenelle xx
