Dear Family & Friends,
Happy Spring and Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! There is no better month than May to kick off my annual fundraising for The Ride for Mental Health...now if only it would stop raining on the weekends...
I've once again signed up to participate in The Ride for Mental Health on June 21st in New Paltz, NY to benefit Eric's Ride Inc. This wet spring has certainly made getting the miles in challenging but I am enjoying my weekend rides whenever Mother Nature allows.
The Ride for Mental Health is one of the first rides in the country to benefit mental health, an important cause dear to my heart. All proceeds raised will be donated to McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, for the education, research, and treatment of mental illness. These are difficult times and funds are needed more than ever.
I'm writing to ask you to support my participation in this event. If you are able to, please consider making a donation to the Eric's Ride Inc. in my name by visiting my fundraising page at http://www.PledgeReg.com/452674
Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated!
Donations are accepted through July 31st.
You can learn more about this great event at https://www.rideformentalhealth.org/.
Thanks so much for your support and please feel free to pass this information on to anyone who might be in interested in donating and/or learning more about the event.
all the best-
Barbara
The Ride for Mental Health 2025
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.
