My whole career was focused on mental health. I've been bicycling even longer than I've been working. So, the Ride for Mental Health seems like a no-brainer for me. While I'm doing the ride as a "virtual rider" (i.e., I'm not traveling to New York to ride), I do think this is a worthy concept/cause to support. That explains my involvement. Please join mee in supporting this event. Thank you!

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.
