Win a BMW R 1200 GS

Support Black Dog Ride for a chance to win a BMW R 1200 GS

BMW Motorrad in partnership with Black Dog Ride and Lifeline is giving riders the opportunity to win a 2015 BMW R 1200 GS worth $28,850 including on road costs, in the annual Black Dog Raffle. The proceeds of the raffle will go towards Lifeline to assist their vital work preventing depression and suicide through their online Crisis Support Chat Service.

Founded in 2009, the Black Dog Ride aims to increase awareness of mental health issues and prevention of suicide.

Black Dog Ride founder Steve Andrews has become a crusader in suicide prevention and increasing awareness of mental health issues. “Remember, depression is an illness, not a weakness and effective treatments are available. It’s important to seek help early and with the right treatment most people recover” said Andrews.

“Having recently ridden the R 1200 GS I was amazed by this outstanding machine. To have BMW Motorrad’s support in this vital mission is fantastic. For the lucky winner it will be the ride of a lifetime,” said Andrews.

BMW Motorrad General Manager, Tony Sesto, is delighted to be able to support such a great cause with the R 1200 GS.

“Mental illness and its associated issues, including suicide, is a huge problem in society. BMW Motorrad is very happy to be involved in helping spread the message of help through supporting the Black Dog Ride Raffle and Lifeline,” said Sesto.

There are only 700 tickets left, at just $50 each. Don’t miss out, get your tickets and support Lifeline today: http://blackdogride.gofundraise.com.au/
