The team includes five Hollywood specialists, Urologist, Dr Andrew Tan; Anaesthetist, Dr Steven Myles; Urologist, Dr Tom Shannon; Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr Clem McCormick; and Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr Ryan Lisle. Hollywood CEO, Peter Mott, will participate in the event’s CEO Challenge, riding as part of the team on the final day of the ride. Held from 21 to 25 March 2017, riders will travel 700 kms from Albany to Perth to raise money for Youth Focus, a not for profit organisation which aims to prevent youth suicide. Mr Mott said “The Ramsay philosophy of ‘People caring for people’ is central to the way we do things at Hollywood. Although we’ve been colleagues for some years, this is the first time we’ve all ridden together. We’re looking forward to seeing what we can achieve as a team and how we can contribute to this very important cause.” “On a personal level and as CEO of Hollywood which has a large standalone mental health facility, I’ve witnessed the impact of mental illness in the community. I’ve also seen it through my Board roles with not for profit organisations involved in mental health. These experiences have motivated me to do whatever I can to help organisations like Youth Focus promote awareness of mental health and provide improved access to related services.” “In addition to raising awareness of youth suicide, depression and self-harm, the Hawaiian Ride for Youth is a wonderful community event.” The event has raised more than $15 million since it started in 2003 with $10 million raised in the past five years alone.
