Date and time
Description
RAISING AWARENESS FOR MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH
JOIN THE RIDE. JOIN THE CONVERSATION.
October 7 will mark the second consecutive Global Man Ride Day. The Man Ride is unashamedly all about the Man. Raising awareness for a subject that is treated like a dark secret and shining a light on the growing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide.
For the third year running, Black Sheep is using pedal power to promote a conversation about Men’s Mental Health.
Men and women from all around the world will join together to lend their voice to Men’s Mental Illness. Six men commit suicide every day. 20 out of 100 men will suffer anxiety. Another 12 out of 100 will endure depression.
15 Locations +
No corner of the real or digital world will be left unridden in our quest to raise awareness of Men’s Mental Illness. Each worldwide location will take part in a specially designed 200km Man Ride. Not near a location? In 2018, we’ve partnered with Zwift to make it possible to Join the Ride wherever you are in the world.
We don’t want your donation. We want you to use the power of the bike and the significance of your local community to help promote change.
