We greatly appreciate your contribution to this worthwhile cause. Thank you for your support!
This is my second year doing "The Ride For Mental Health." 20 years ago when doing my first ride for an important cause (The Aids Ride) it was because I worked in the Dance/Theater community and felt a strong responsibility to support those with whom we work and live and invest our lives in. The message is the same now that I am a clinician in the mental health field in that these are the lives with whom I work and live and invest my life in. The territory ahead will not be easier for our fellow human beings. I expect it will, in stead, be more demanding and will require our unified support and dedication to this most basic Human Need (Mental Health)! Please help us become that support!
With deep gratitude,
Paul Houtkooper
The Ride for Mental Health 2023
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.
