Black Dog Ride's iconic annual 1 Dayer aims to start a national conversation about depression and suicide prevention. Help us get the country talking and join your local 1 Dayer on 17th March 2024.

8 Australians take their lives every single day, that's one Aussie every 3 hours losing their life to the black dog.
