JDL Strategies is one of Australia's premier wealth creation companies, specialising in helping everyday (and not so everyday) investors make this happen.

To build wealth quickly, you need a powerful engine driving your strategy forwards. An engine built from three core components:

  • Intelligent investment

Properly configured, these three components will feed each other to give your wealth strategy extra momentum.

Finely tuned, they can set up what we call a 'chain reaction'

Riding4aCause is a global initiative to raise awareness about Male Depression, using motorcycle rides to spread the word.

Raz, Andrew and Robbie are the motorcycle riders behind Riding4aCause, and are passionate about supporting men and their families who are suffering from this silent-killer in our society. Male depression affects 1 in 8 men worldwide and it impacts their families, friends and colleagues – daily!

5 Australian men take their own life – EVERY DAY!

Male Depression is enabled by silence and ignorance. Male Depression has a number of different symptoms than depression in women, and is very difficult to self-diagnose. The Riding4aCause team are riding motorcycles to proactively bring Male Depression out into the open, in effort to remove the veil of silence, and get men to SPEAK UP!

The first major ride will take place in September 2010, from Sydney, NSW to Glen Helen Resort, NT (131km west of Alice Springs) (see Rides page), joining Steve Andrews from Black Dog Ride, in an Australian wide initiative to educate the community about Male Depression
