“I Am Climate Hope, The Ride of a Generation” is taking on the pressing issue climate change is having on our mental health, especially that of our young people!
Mike King and supporters will be riding around New Zealand on UBCO e-motorbikes from Auckland up to Cape Reinga down to Bluff and back to Auckland during the month of October to raise awareness to mental health and climate change. They will be stopping off in towns and cities along the route to host talks with support from our key partner Genesis and partners UBCO and Ara Ake.
We look forward to seeing you at a location near you, see the route and schedule below.
Join Mike as he rides an electric motorbike on a 5,000-km journey around Aotearoa, speaking to local communities about the important issues of mental health and climate change.
