Dear Friends and Family,
I am saddling up again to join the annual two-day Ride for Mental Health in New Paltz, New York. Those of you who know me understand how important it is to me to erase the stigma around mental illness. Unbelievably, I have been in the mental health world in various roles since 1971! I wish I could say that there is less stigma getting in the way of folks receiving the care they desperately need, and that's why I am grateful for any amount you can give to this worthy cause.
Thank you in advance for your generous support!
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.
