New Paltz meditators
New Paltz Meditators is a loose (in the best sense of the word) group of about 30 people from New Paltz, New York (and surrounding towns). For the third year, the group is sponsoring a rider for the Ride for Mental health in honor of a member of the family of one of the meditators. I'm proud to be their representative again this year.
The goal of the group is to raise $1,000.
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.
