Chace's Ride for Resilience: Cycling from the Top to the Bottom of Australia for Mental Health

By Chace Eldridge Join Me

Welcome!

I will be cycling from down the entire East Coast of Australia, approximately 6000 kilometres, to raise money for mental health research and education through the Black Dog Institute. I'm aiming for $100,000!

It is an extremely important cause and one that is really close to my heart. Here are some statistics to drive this home:
  • More than 3000 people die by suicide in Australia each year. That is 9 people every day. 
  • Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged between 15 and 44.
  • Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year and 1 in 2 Australians in their lifetime, with symptoms like depression and anxiety.
  • 1 in 3 Australians report feeling lonely. Many of these people don't reach out for support. 
The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

Help me in making a meaningful difference for mental health in Australia. I will set off from the very top of Australia and expect to ride feverishly along the Great Dividing Range to the very bottom of Australia in approximately 6 weeks.

Please follow along for this journey. I'll be posting regularly across various platforms with information on the event, fundraisers and with details on how you can support the great cause.
