Dear Family and Friends,
I am participating in a bike ride to support mental health research and education. Anyone who is getting this email knows that this is an issue that has touched my family personally and that is near and dear to my heart. No pressure!!
Actually, joking aside, I mean it. No pressure. I hate fundraising. If you are moved to throw in a few dollars, thank you very much.
XOXO,
Bernice
The Ride for Mental Health 2018
The Ride for Mental Health is one of the first rides in the country to benefit mental health. The proceeds raised will be donated to McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, for the education, research and treatment of mental illness including anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders and substance abuse. Our mission is to raise funds for McLean so that we can help accelerate the progress being made to help others who suffer from mental illness.
We also hope to end the stigma surrounding mental illness through education and awareness. The promotion of this ride is a start. Many if not most of us are touched by close friends and relatives who have suffered with one type or another of mental illness.
Eric's Ride Inc. is a New York not for profit corporation with 501(c)(3) status. 100% of rider pledges will be donated to McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate.
