I am riding 68 miles from Sandwich to Provincetown in honor of my son Noah Matthew Tadema-Wielandt and to help raise funds for Sharing Kindness.
Sharing Kindness is a nonprofit organization who's mission is to create real conversation around suicide and suicide loss and to support grievers and those affected by suicide. "To inspire courageous conversation – dialogue addressing these often taboo subjects – by providing education and programs for grievers and their support networks. Many who are affected by grief and suicide also struggle with mental health; we want to eliminate the stigma around getting help, so that those who need it can reach out more confidently".
Sharing Kindness Co-Founders Kim Mead-Walters and Davis Walters were two of the first people to reach out to us after Noah died by suicide. They gave us hope during the worst moment in our lives. Since then Sharing Kindness has provided us with guidance and resources that have been a life line for us over the past year and a half.
Any amount you are able to donate is greatly appreciated. Learn more about Sharing Kindness here.
Thank you,
Rebecca Tadema-Wielandt
