As a psychologist and a cyclist, I am excited to participate in the 2019 Ride for Mental Health to raise awareness of the need for mental health services and reduce the stigmas that persist around emotional and mental distress. I'll be working hard to ride 100 miles around New Paltz, NY on June 23. During this ride I'll be thinking of those I know and the larger community who need support in healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, personality disorders, loneliness and suicidality, and all forms of discrimination.
I appreciate you supporting this cause with your financial donation, and coming out to ride is most welcome too!

The Ride for Mental Health 2019
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 from 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.
