I am back again this year riding for my fourth time to raise money for mental health. Last year I challenged myself to ride the hundred mile loop wich I am happy to say I completed, in the rain. I am glad that I accomplished this for myself but I was riding without my team. The rest of team SHAKE IT OFF was riding the 50 mile loop. I found that I was missing the camaraderie of riding with my teamates so I decided that I would rather ride with them this year as a group. So this year I will be riding the fifty mile south loop to raise money for a cause that is very important to me. Last year I was able to raise money with the help of my coworkers, family and friends. This year I am asking again which is not easy for me. If you find this issue important and want to support the Mental Health Ride,we will greatly appreciate your contribution to this worthwhile cause. Thank you for your support!
The Ride for Mental Health 2024
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.
