Ride For Strides (against mental health stigma)
Donation protected
Currently organizing an indoor spin event in Boston Mass, for April 26th!
This will be a day of indoor cycling, philanthropy and fun!
Participants who raise funds themselves will receive tanks/tee shirts, and tier leveled prizes to encourage individual and team efforts to further support the cause!
This campaign will be used to offset the upfront cost of the event and all of the overflow will go directly towards the non-profit Mental Health America- the organization and mission that the whole event is based upon!
A little about Mental Health America:
Mental Health America (MHA) - founded in 1909 - is the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and promoting the overall mental health of all Americans. Their work is driven by their commitment to promote mental health as a critical part of overall wellness, including prevention services for all; early identification and intervention for those at risk; integrated care, services, and supports for those who need it; with recovery as the goal.
What do they do?
They have education and outreach missions to help Americans of all ages better understand prevention, early identification and intervention through a variety of information, online tools and events.
They work with public policy to advance legislative recommendations that promote their mission.
They focus on peer advocacy and support while working to protect the rights and dignity of individuals with lived experience nationwide, and ensure that peers and their voices are integrated into all areas of the organization.
Please look around their site to explore all the good work they do, and then please consider donating to my cause that will bring 100+ people together for an incredible event to support an incredible cause.
