Lions Club Supports Beyond Bitumen

Two hundred and seventy Beyond Bitumen drivers arrived in Young recently on a car rally to promote Beyond Blue and to raise funds for mental health.

Lions Clubs of Gundagai, Echuca, Griffith and West Wyalong, Rotary Clubs of Corowa and Tocumwal and Tocomwal Men’s Shed showed off their culinary skills by cooking meals for the participants.

Their stopover in Young was an overnight stay.

They were sustained by an early morning breakfast cooked to perfection by the Lions Club of Young Inc.

The rally continued to Boorowa for morning tea and then to Goulburn where the rally dispersed.

This is a well-organised charity event and a great opportunity to get onto some dirt roads and have some fun.

The rally drivers came from many different regions.

Beyond Bitumen is a fundraising event for Beyond Blue.

Millions of Australians live with anxiety and depression.

Beyond Blue works to reduce the impact of anxiety, depression and suicide in the community by raising awareness and understanding, empowering people to seek help and supporting recovery, management and resilience.

There was a 42 per cent increase of people reaching out to Beyond Blue last year.
