Black Dog Ride Around The Fire 2016 Banner

Sunday 27th November 2016

In January this year, the WA communities of Preston Beach, Waroona, Yarloop & Harvey were tragically affected by devastating fires.

In partnership with GP Down South, on Sunday 27th November Black Dog Ride is gathering at Preston Beach and will be riding around the fire zones of Yarloop, Harvey and Waroona and meeting with locals to raise awareness of the mental health support agencies available to them. Our ride will also provide a beacon of hope to communities in reassuring them that they are not alone in their recovery.

This is not a fundraising activity. Rider numbers for this community activity are strictly limited and you must register online to participate.
