Black Dog Ride Comes To Vegas! Raising Awareness For Mental Health

More than 65 motorcyclists will roll into Las Vegas at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1 as part of the inaugural, cross country Black Dog Ride and the accompanying WestCare rally. The event was created in partnership with Mental Health First Aid USA, and designed to raise mental health awareness and show support for the millions of Americans who are affected by depression and suicide. Clark County Commissioner Mary Beth Scow will be on hand to discuss the local impact of veteran suicide. Performers from the Excalibur’s Thunder from Down Under show  and Las Vegas Metro Politian Police Department will escort the riders from the strip to the rally location.

“Mental Health First Aid increases peoples’ noticing skills and encourages them to reach out to those who may not be comfortable asking for help,” said Jennifer Hilton, WestCare Director of Training and Technology Transfer.  “That is powerful. The simple act of reaching out can save lives.”
The Black Dog Ride was founded in Australia in 2009, and has raised more than $1.7 million for mental health providers in Australia. This year, the group is raising money for Mental Health First Aid USA.

“We’ve trained more than 375,000 people in Mental Health First Aid in the U.S.,” said Linda Rosenberg, President and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health, which operates Mental Health First Aid. “We hope that the money raised in partnership with the Black Dog Ride will enable us to train hundreds of thousands more.”

Mental Health First Aid is an eight-hour course that gives people the tools to identify when someone might be struggling with a mental health or substance use problem and to connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary.

“WestCare is a wonderful organization that joins a long list of other nonprofit agencies that NWP has invested in since it was founded in 2005,” said NWP President Kelly Cavanagh. “We know that this will make a difference for both WestCare Nevada and the community.”

The event will take place at the Harley Davidson Dealership, 5191 S. Las Vegas Blvd.

Through events like the Komen Southern Nevada Race for the Cure®, we have invested more than $7.7million in local breast health and breast cancer projects in Southern Nevada over the past 20 years. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Affiliate provide grants for innovative community programs that reduce breast cancer mortality through screening, treatment, education and support services, while the remaining 25 percent supports groundbreaking breast cancer research grants.

Champ Mike Tyson Unveils Bitcoin ATM In Vegas

Bitcoin Direct, LLC, a subsidiary of Conexus Corporation, and Mike Tyson unveiled the world's first Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM at Off the Strip at The LINQ. This is the first of several Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATMs planned for the Las Vegas community and beyond. The ATM is immediately available for consumer use.

"Our restaurant was selected because it is in a prime location, right in the center of The LINQ Promenade with direct access to thousands of guests every day," says Tom Goldsbury, founder, Off The Strip at The LINQ.

The Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM provides consumers the ability to instantaneously purchase bitcoin through their mobile devices and should help to bridge the gap between bitcoin users and mainstream pop culture. The most significant difference between purchasing bitcoin from a Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM rather than online is the convenience and privacy that the bitcoin ATM offers to consumers. Consumers can purchase bitcoin from a Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM by simply using their Bitcoin Wallet residing on any handheld device. It can purchase practically anything, from gift cards to electronics to food.

“My fastest knockout in the ring was 30 seconds. My Bitcoin ATM can turn your cash into bitcoin in 20 seconds. Las Vegas is the fight capital of the world, and it is also a notable technology hub, making it a perfect location for the first Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM,” says Tyson. "I am honored to join the bitcoin revolution with my very first bitcoin ATM. This is the first of hopefully many across the globe."

The ATM is now available at Off The Strip at The LINQ, which is open 23 hours per day.
