We are riding in honor of Mason Thomas Gilbert who passed away September 19, 2025. He was a kind hearted adventurous young man whose life was brief but full. He was 28 years old. Mason attended school locally and lived his faith in the Lord with kindness to all.
We greatly appreciate your contribution to this worthwhile cause. Thank you for your support!
The Ride for Mental Health 2026
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.
