Riders Against Teen Suicide stops in Mackenzie
Halfway through a six-week tour of the South Island, Gary Anderson and his dog Kairo have been overwhelmed by the support they have received on their fundraising ride.
Anderson has been riding his Yamaha XJR 1300 with a sidecar for his furry friend to sit in, from the East Coast down to Stewart Island, then back up to Lake Takapō/Tekapo and Wānaka, before heading to Picton.
He is a member of Taranaki Riders Against Teen Suicide (RATS), a non-profit group working to support people through difficult times. The ride aims to raise money for the organisation, as well as start a conversation about mental health.
