I am excited to announce that I will be participating in the Ride for Mental Health for the third year in a row! This event has been so inspiring to be a part of each year and knowing that it is all for a cause so worthy makes it all the more fun! Mental health issues and topics effect me on a personal, social, and professional level. Awareness, treatment, and research in the field of mental health is so important!
Please consider sponsoring my ride this year. I will be riding 50 miles over two days in beautiful New Paltz, NY. I 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.
