HUNDREDS GET BEHIND HUNTER’S INAUGURAL BLACK DOG RIDE

300 riders set out from the Sandgate Markets on Sunday morning, for the Hunter’s first Black Dog Ride.

The charity ride creates awareness about depression and suicide prevention.

“It’s all about mental health, it’s really all about having a conversation around depression and suicide prevention, a lot of the riders have been touched by poor mental health and mental health conditions in general and a lot of the riders have been touched by mates whoi have been lost to suicide.”

The bikers rode through Maitland, Paterson and Seaham before reaching their final destination at Fighterworld.
