Ride for Youth - latest update from Yohei



Mission Australia's intrepid supporter - the Japanese cyclist, Yohei Takahashi - will today begin facing the biggest challenge of his 7000km journey from Brisbane to Perth, the brutal 1200 km stretch that is the Nullarbor Plain.

Yohei has pedalled through Adelaide and is now on the downward leg of his journey out of South Australia where he has received an extraordinary amount of support from well-wishers, donors and the media.

One anonymous donor made a $500 contribution after reading about Yohei’s epic journey in the Adelaide Advertiser.

With just the bare essentials - instant noodles, tinned salmon, water and a tent - Yohei hopes to conquer the Nullarbor in 12 days.

We encourage everyone to get behind Yohei, support Mission Australia’s young people in need and leave our friend a message of motivation. Simply visit everydayhero.com.au/yohei_takahashi.

Good luck on the road to Norseman, Yohei!!
