The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride - Stanthorpe
2018-09-30
Sunday, September 30, from 8am and riders will depart at 10am.
Visitors Info Centre, Stanthorpe
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is a global motorcycle fund-raising event to raise awareness of prostate cancer and male suicide prevention Open to all genders, the ride was founded in 2012 by Mark Hawwa in Sydney, Australia
((“Last year we got 65 riders here. People are coming from Brisbane, Toowoomba, Tenterfield, Warwick. This one’s about a 120 kilometre ride.”
For more information contact him at the High St Motor Inn on 4681 1533 Register for this event www.gentlemansride.com/rides/australia/stanthorpe
“Last year we got 65 riders here. People are coming from Brisbane, Toowoomba, Tenterfield, Warwick. This one’s about a 120 kilometre ride.”
Shaun fought and won his own battle against prostate cancer, diagnosed mid-way through organising the first ride in ’14.
“It meant a whole lot more to complete that first one after finding out. It started out as just something a bit different and then my diagnosis came through,” he said.
“You find out more and more every day of people locally who have their own issues. Then obviously with the mental health thing, that’s a big one. Depression is something blokes just don’t want to talk about it.
“Rather than them walking off into the bush and not coming back you’re better off having days like this where guys can come and have a chat.
“We’ve had a lot of blokes who’ve come up and thanked us for doing it and told their story.
“The drought we’re having has a lot of repercussions in the mental health arena as well. But the hard part is getting people to actually walk in the door, sit down and say I’m in strife,” Mr Cox said.
The ride will be held on Sunday, September 30 and start at the Visitors Info Centre from 8am and riders will depart at 10am.
Shaun encouraged people who mighn’t be taking part to pop down, look at the bikes and have a chat.))

Southern Downs set to celebrate DisABILITY Action Week 2018
The Southern Downs will celebrate the valuable contribution people with a disability make to the community when Disability Action Week 2018 kicks off in September.
Committees and community groups across the Southern Downs are working hard on preparing for a full Calendar of Events to celebrate the important occasion.
Disability Action Week will be celebrated across the Southern Downs from 6-22 September.
Southern Downs Mayor, Tracy Dobie said Disability Action Week is a way to empower people with a disability while raising awareness in the community.
“Everyone involved has contributed great ideas and worked hard on finalising another fabulous program of events and activities,” Cr Dobie said.
“These groups do great work with our community members with a disability and in past years have delivered some wonderful programs and events for Disability Action Week which benefited the entire community.”
Cr Dobie also highlighted that one in five Queenslanders has a disability of some kind, and disability touches the lives of most Queenslanders in some way.
“Disability Action Week is aimed at empowering people with a disability, so it’s an important celebration,” she said.
“It’s also about raising awareness of disability issues, encouraging positive attitudes towards people with a disability, and improving access and inclusion of people with a disability throughout the wider community.
“We all have a role in creating a truly welcoming and inclusive community, from businesses and government to community organisations and individuals.
“We ask everyone to take part in Disability Action Week and show their support.”
Disability Action Week kicks off on 6 September 2018! Check out the full Disability Action Week Calendar of Events across the region, visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au or email Community Services Officer Charee Aspinall charee.aspinall@sdrc.qld.gov.au.
