Support Matt’s RUOK Day Ride: Spreading Awareness and Making a Difference
Matt is gearing up for his annual ride to support mental health awareness for RUOK Day this September, and we’re thrilled to share the details of this inspiring journey with you. For the past three years, Matt has been riding to raise funds and awareness for mental health, and he’s back at it again this year!
About the Ride
On September 12th, 2024, Matt will set out on an inspiring 2,000 km journey to support mental health awareness for RUOK Day. Starting from his home in Coomera, Queensland, Matt will cycle all the way to Carrum Downs in Victoria over the course of 10 days. This ride is more than just a physical challenge; it’s a mission to spread the vital message of mental health awareness and support. As he travels, Matt will stop at 11 Ritchies stores, interacting with local communities and distributing RUOK wristbands. These wristbands serve as a conversation starter, encouraging people to check in on one another and promote mental well-being. Over the past three years, Matt has dedicated himself to this cause, raising over $20,000. His commitment remains strong, and he is eager to continue making a difference.
