Hello fellow TripleShotters!
As it is mental health week, what better time to start a team for this year's CMHA Ride Don't Hide?!
CMHA is BC’s leading mental health non-profit, making a difference across the province and in communities with 14 local branches. They promote the right to one’s best possible mental health, and support resilience and recovery of people living with mental illness and substance use disorder. Mental health has suffered now more than ever in the midst of a pandemic, so it is a very relevant cause!
Ride Don't Hide is an annual fundraising event for CMHA. This year, they are once again following a virtual event model due to Covid-19; as such, you can choose your own adventure! You can ride inside, outside, walk or even "ride in spirit".
There is also a fun new element to support local businesses, "Decoding Mental Health". Participating local businesses will be displaying a QR code that can be scanned and will allow you to enter to win some awesome prizes!
Shelagh Machin is the Team Captain of "Out Spoke'n with Tripleshot Cycling" and I have stepped up as her Assistant Captain!
If you are interested, please register here: Canadian Mental Health Association (donordrive.com)
Once registered, you can check out the "Decoding Mental Health" map.
The event is scheduled for 13 June; however, in the virtual format participation is flexible!
I will liaise with the Exec to arrange some 100km "Ride don't Hide" rides in Spond at the date approaches!
