Ride for Mental Health
I don’t think it’s a secret that I’ve been a dedicated runner for over a decade now (nor is this me saying that I am not currently a dedicated runner). But recently I’ve been doing something a little different and have dipped my toes in the biking world. Next Sunday I will be attempting to bike from Belle Isle to Lake Michigan (specifically Kirk Park). This ride will be on behalf of the Michigan National Alliance on Mental Health. This organization works with individuals who struggle with mental health issues ranging from severe depression, ADHD, PTSD, and more. I am doing this physical challenge with the intention of bringing more attention to the mental challenges that many face. If you would like to get involved, please consider donating a lump sum, or commenting/messaging me with a commitment of donating a certain amount per mile I bike, and PLEASE share and pass this message along. Let’s work together to raise awareness and end the stigma.
