Hello,
On September 13, 2026, I'll be participating in the Second Summer Cycle in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, to raise funds for Behavioral Health Innovators. This organization is dedicated to strengthening youth mental health through prevention, early intervention, treatment, and recovery services across our community. I'm honored to ride in support of their important mission.
As a special education teacher on Cape Cod, I have the privilege of working with young children and their families. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and that starts with ensuring families have access to the care and resources they need.
Training for this ride is a personal commitment to my own health and wellness while also giving me the opportunity to support a cause I care about. Every mile I ride represents hope, resilience, and a commitment to raising awareness about the importance of accessible mental health care.
If you're able, I would be truly grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps Behavioral Health Innovators continue expanding access to vital mental health services for individuals and families in our communities.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and support.
Warmly

BHI’s work includes education and outreach grounded in harm reduction, with a focus on compassionate engagement and meeting individuals where they are. The organization also offers prevention and early intervention programming through PASS (Positive Alternatives for Student Support). PASS partners with schools across Cape Cod to offer an alternative to suspension while also providing ongoing support for students identified as experiencing mental health and/or substance use challenges. Within treatment and recovery, Behavioral Health Innovators offers Cape Teens Rising, a community based after school program that provides structured peer support and recovery oriented activities for teens on Cape Cod navigating substance use challenges.
