“It is obviously a big part of me and who I am.
“What I am doing this Saturday, hopefully it can help one person or a 100 people.”
Ahead of the fundraising efforts on Saturday, Turner says he has received support from stables such as Shailer, Declan Maher as well as the Sears family, among others, who are keen to donate to the cause.
There have been several NZ participants who will be donating to the cause, as well.
He has also spoken with other family and friends who will be dipping into their pockets for the great cause.
While it still is early in the week ahead of Saturday’s acceptances, Turner says Stoicism from the Jason Patton stable will be a good chance to break through maiden ranks and put some cash in the mental health kitty.
If Turner has a quiet day in the saddle on Saturday and doesn’t raise too much from his riding exploits, he says he will donate around $2,500 from his own pocket to ensure Beyond Blue is being supported.
