Dear Friends,
I have worked caring for people and families encountering mental health challenges for over 40 years, and know first hand as a professional and as a family member how important and how often invisible, and how widespread this need is. I am asking for your support as my friend Todd and I cycle to raise money to alleviate the stigma around mental illness. We greatly appreciate your contribution to this worthwhile cause. Thank you for your support!

The Ride for Mental Health 2021
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.
Eric's Ride Inc. is a New York not for profit corporation with 501(c)(3) status. 100% of rider pledges will be donated to McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate.
