Dear Friends --
The pandemic is loosening so we can start getting back to the causes and projects we value, like the Ride for Mental Health. We're riding to break the stigma of mental illness. And we're riding to raise funds for McLean Hospital to support their work helping those who suffer from mental illness. Donations all go to education, treatment, and research.
I'm asking for you support for when my friend Ken and I ride the 100 mile course (OK, yes, we're old ... so we're going to do it over 2-days). With your donation you'll be riding with us every pedal stroke and up every hill.
We really appreciate your support. Thank you!!

The Ride for Mental Health 2021
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.
