The New Year is the quintessential time to start fresh and renew commitments to bettering the mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s health, finances, spirituality, or new hobbies, there is a wealth of local resources in the Hudson Valley to start those resolutions right.
Ride for Mental Health
Join The Ride for Mental Health and help “Ride Away the Stigma”! This annual event is not only a cycling journey through the stunning Hudson Valley, but also a powerful movement to support mental health research, treatment resources, and efforts to end the stigma associated with mental illness. Riders of all ages and skill levels are welcome. With routes ranging from the scenic Rail Trail to challenging climbs, there’s an option for everyone, whether it’s a family-friendly day or a rewarding challenge. The funds raised make a tangible impact by supporting organizations like McLean Hospital, global leaders in mental health care, research, and education, as well as support for local non-profit organizations like the New Paltz Youth Program and the Maya Gold Foundation. Participant involvement directly contributes to expanding resources and support systems for individuals and families facing mental health challenges. Join as a rider or volunteer to be part of this passionate community working toward meaningful change. Register today and bring friends, family, and colleagues to be part of this impactful journey. Visit rideformentalhealth.org to sign up, learn more, and pedal forward together.
