Big Day Out Rock N Ride for headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation
Returning in January 2014, twenty of Australia’s most loved musicians, TV, sports and media personalities will embark on an epic motorcycle adventure between the Gold Coast and Melbourne Big Day Outs. 1500 miles, music, mates and machines coming together for headspace, the National Youth Mental Health Foundation.
Rock N Ride founders Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon) and Adam Zammit (Big Day Out CEO) will lead the ride with the original crew, Chris Joannou (Silverchair), Kate Peck (MTV), and Jake Stone (Bluejuice). This year they will be joined by Pat Davern (Grinspoon), Art vs Science, Danny Clayton (Channel V), Reegan McLaughlin (NOVA/ Music Feeds), Chris Tanti (headspace CEO) and Big Day Out 2014 artists Kingswood. The riders will venture down the East Coast of Australia to bring awareness to headspace, the support they provide to 12 – 25 year olds going through a tough time and their centres in regional and rural areas.
“This is all about letting young Australians know that their mental health is the most important thing to respect, prioritise and discuss openly. We all experience varying mental health issues in our life. We want to let all young Australians know it’s ok and healthy to seek help.” - Adam Zammit, CEO Big Day Out
headspace provides young people a place to go for support, guidance and information if they are struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, relationship or school problems, bullying or drug and alcohol concerns . With 55 (soon to be 70) centres across Australia, and online and telephone counselling service eheadspace, headspace is continuing to give more young people the support they need.
headspace CEO Chris Tanti, who will join the ride for the first time, said
“Rock N Ride is unique way of putting mental health on the agenda. We want to improve the lives of young Australians, so we need to make sure they know there’s youth friendly support available for them and their friends. This ride will help to raise the profile of our headspace centres and how they can help” - Chris Tanti, CEO headspace.
Rock N Ride will be riding through three states in four days visiting headspace centres and Valvoline’s Supercheap Auto stores as they make their way to the Melbourne Big Day Out. During the Rock N Ride stops the local communities will have the opportunity to meet the riders, get photos and autographs as well as seeing performances from Kingswood, Art vs Science, and Grinspoons Phil Jamieson and Pat Davern.
