Hey everyone,

So, this is my first, real post to Reddit, and I'm asking for help... So please, go easy on me?

My name is Josh, but I go by JT Viper online. I've got a plan -a dream, if you will- to cycle across >2,000km of southeastern Australia, from Brisbane to Melbourne via Sydney and Canberra in the December heat in order to raise funds and social awareness for charities that support Men's Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.

The problem is that I'm only one guy, and I only have so much as far as social media reach is concerned, and my friends/family don't see the overwhelming challenges facing men when it comes to living with mental illness and fighting thoughts of suicide.

So here's what I'm asking... If you can lend me a hand, please, reach out to me and let's make this dream a reality. Whether you'd like to contribute your time in a support capacity, your financial support as a monthly Patreon supporter or one-time donor, or if you'd be willing to Like/Share/RT/Up-Vote/Comment-On the informational videos and fundraiser streams that I'm producing, ANY help is greatly appreciated.

I know you'll probably have a million-and-a-half questions, and it's right that you should. Ask me any questions you have, and I'll do my level best to answer all of them (unless they are completely off-topic or excessively personal, of course).

The basic plan is this:

-YOU help ME by crowdfunding the touring bicycle, flight, fuel (for the Safety & Support vehicle), campground fees (I will be staying in volunteered lodging or caravan parks for the entire trip in order to keep costs down) and other marketing & miscellaneous costs -I put in the blood, sweat, and probably tears to train for, and complete the BSCM Ride 4 Change Charity-Benefit Bike Tour -I donate any/all funds raised (above operating costs) in 30/30/40 shares to BeyondBlue, Movember Australia and Movember Canada

We're ~22% of the way to the first goal of $1,770 (USD) to cover the touring bicycle, which I need to have funded by the beginning of April in order to properly train throughout spring, summer and fall before launching The Ride in December, this year.

So yeah, if you'd like more information, reply to this post, DM me on Twitter (@JTVIPER1991) or pop-in on my upcoming fundraiser stream, February 18th from 10:30am to 10:30am on February 19th (YT channel: JT Viper).

Thanks everyone,

JT Viper
