Hello Friend! 

Raising awareness for Mental Health is something I'm passionate about. By day, I work for a behavioral health integrated system of care. When I want to have fun, I'm out on the bike. What's better than combining my two passions?

Mental Health and it's stigma resulted in lack of treatment and critically affected my family. Extending to the loss of my brother's life. He died by suicide.  

If I can help just one person in my lifetime with mental health awareness, I'll have made my contribution, although I hope for that number to be in the hundreds, maybe thousands.  

Your donation will be greatly appreciated. Help us #rideawaythestigma.

If you can't donate, seek me out!  I have much to share and even more time to listen. 

Blessings and Love,     

Colleen

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.
