A special event raising money to help curb youth suicide in the state’s south-west will be held at Wise Winery on Friday, January 14.

It’s part of the 2022 Hawaiian Ride for Youth program, which sees groups of cyclists ride from Albany to Perth, raising funds for their efforts.

Antonia Wise, who will be taking part in the ride, said youth mental health in that part of the state was a huge issue.

“The tragedy in the south-west is really huge,” she said on 6PR Breakfast.

“My husband and I personally know three young people who have taken their lives early last year, just in this area.

“So we decided to focus our fundraising for the Ride for Youth down here this year, and are hoping to get people’s support.”
