Hello Friends, I am participating again this June in The Ride for Mental Health, 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.
The Ride is in beautiful (and hilly!) New Paltz NY area. I am setting the same riding goal as last year -- 50 mile ride on Saturday and 25 mile ride on Sunday. While I achieved these goals last year, I'm working hard on my training now for the Ride next month. This organization has now donated over $1 million to the McLean Hospital! Last year we got to meet the new research fellow supported by our contributions.
I greatly appreciate your contribution to this worthwhile cause. Thank you for your support!
Susan Spear
