I am a lifelong cycling enthusiast and thrilled to turn this kinetic energy towards helping raise awareness and funds for Youth Focus, a brilliant organisation supporting youth mental health in Western Australia.

It is appalling that suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15-24. The statistics show a troubling rise in mental health challenges more generally among young people. As a father of two, I see first-hand the pressures facing this generation, and I'm determined to help make a difference.

I'm grateful for organisations like Youth Focus, which provide free mental health services and programs to young people across WA - including rural communities where support is often scarce.

That's why I'm taking on a 700km ride from Albany to Perth, and I invite you to join me by sponsoring this journey. Every donation, big or small, is tax-deductible and goes directly to support Youth Focus's essential services.
