With just one week remaining, the Campbell Town community is being called to rally behind locals participating in the 2025 Black Dog Ride One Dayer in their mission to support mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

Taking place on Sunday 16 March 2025, the event is a one-day motorcycle ride held in over 50 communities across Australia. This year, the Campbell Town ride will start at the War Memorial in Campbell Town and conclude at Scamander.

Riders and non-riders alike are being encouraged to join the cause by attending the event or donating what they can, with funds raised for the 2025 event going towards vital community-based mental health projects in regional Australia,

“We all know someone who has been touched by mental health challenges, whether directly or through a loved one,” said Campbell Town Black Dog Ride Coordinator, Jeremy Gill.

“This is our chance to stand together, start conversations, and show our community that support is always available. Whether you’re riding, cheering us on, or donating, your contribution matters. Let’s make this a day to remember and continue to take a step toward much needed change.”

Event Ambassador and World SuperSport Champion, Tom Edwards is also encouraging Campbell Town locals to support the annual ride.

“Every ride organised by Black Dog Ride is more than just a ride—it’s a way to spark conversations about mental health and let people know they’re not alone.”

“The camaraderie of the biking community is incredible, and events like this show how much we can achieve together,” said Edwards.

For Edwards, this particular mission is deeply personal.

“I lost someone I loved to mental health struggles, and I think about him every day,” he said.

“Supporting the ride is my way of honoring him and ensuring more people have access to the help they need. Whether you’re riding, donating or just showing up to cheer the riders on, you’re helping us break down barriers and save lives,” continued Edwards.
