Benny & Redmond - Black Dog USA Road Trip

By Benny's Coast Run Join Me

Help me make it meaningful

They say to do the things you enjoy in life.  And for me, every second on two wheels is time well spent.


My Mate Redmond has the same sentiment.

2 Years Ago, I rode the East Coast of Australia taking in some of the extraordinary beauty that our country has to offer.

I spoke about my Journey with Mental Health.  I spoke to some amazing people and managed to raise quite a bit of Money for the Black Dog Institute.

This time I am joined by Redmond, together we have saved up to ride Bikes from one side of the USA to the other.

Los Angeles, California
Phoenix, Arizona
El Paso, Texas
Lake View, Texas
Houston, Texas
New Orleans, Louisiana
Memphis, Tennessee
Nashville, Tennessee
Atlanta, Georgia
Panama Beach, Florida
Daytona Beach, Florida

And by doing this, we are hoping to raise awareness and some funds for those that help us in our darkest times of need.

Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, with the most common being depression and anxiety. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — individuals, families, workplaces and communities.

We hope to bring some humour, adventure and our own stories to those wishing to follow.

Please donate if you can, your support is appreciated.
