Thank you so much for donating to my charity bike ride. I am aware of how the current economy affects most people, so your decision to donate means a lot to me and shows me how much you care. This is the 10th anniversary of The Ride for Mental Health, and sometimes it seems that the need for mental health care and attention only increases. Whatever you donated will help people in need of treatment get the care they need from a quality organization.
Thank you again,
Birnie E Williams II
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.
