Last fall, I purchased a new bike for the first time in 20+ years. One of my motivations for doing that was so that I could particpate in the Ride for Mental Health, an annual fundraising ride organized by friends and neighbors of ours. I'll be riding 50 miles on Saturday, June 19, and I'd appreciate your support in helping me reach my fundraising goal and helping bring awareness to mental health.
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.
