I participated in this great event last year for the first time, and am so happy to be one of the hundreds of people who go to the effort to help raise money for such a great cause. I lost my husband almost 6 years ago because of a mental health illness. Some of the difficult hills we climb during this ride remind me of the struggles people with these illnesses go through every day of their lives. Thanks so much for your donation to help conquer these diseases!
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.
