Black Dog Ride

Lifeline are supported by the Black Dog Ride and invited Men's Sheds to join the group as it prepared for the ride from The Entrance Leagues Club to Hunter Valley Gardens at Cessnock.

Despite clear skies to start the morning off the riders were scrambling to get on the road as the rain arrived to see them off.  Warm coffee and sausage sandwiches fueled up the riders as they headed off to the north.

The Black Dog Ride provides an awareness platform for male depression and raises funds for the very good work of Lifeline.
