Ivan Phillips (AUS)

After completing his first Around Australia Ride, Ivan is about to embark on another lap in 2016 on his new Suzuki V-Strom XT. This ride has great significance: Ivan’s step-daughter was murdered in 2007, so he is riding as a ‘White Ribbon Ambassador’ to ensure that Tash’s legacy lives on. He will be doing some media appearances, as well as public speaking about domestic violence towards women. It’s a great cause and a great way to get the message out there to men that violence towards women is not ok. The ‘patron for the ride’ is the world renown Orianthi Panagaris (who was the guitarist of choice for Michael Jackson, no less!). Support the cause here: Riding Free of DV.
