Connor’s not doing this by halves.
Today, our apprentice is setting off on a 5,400km ride from Perth to Newcastle, completely unsupported.
He’ll be covering more than 200km a day, heading south from Perth before following the coastline all the way back to Newcastle Beach.
He’s taking it on to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health. It’s a cause that’s close to home through his own experiences, as well as mates and family, and he knows the impact it can have.
This ride is about more than the kilometres. It’s about getting people to check in, have the conversation, and let their mates know they’re there.
Connor’s aiming to raise $50,000 for Talk2MeBro and Black Dog Institute, two organisations doing important work in this space.

And while you’re here, take a minute to check in on someone. A quick message or a phone call can go a long way.
We’re proud to back you, mate. All the best on the road 🤝
