On Sunday, 10,000 Canadians from Newfoundland to British Columbia and Windsor will get on their bikes and join friends, family, colleagues, classmates and other community members to pedal towards the ultimate goal of ending the stigma of mental illness.
They will be taking part in the Canadian Mental Health Association’s 4th annual Ride Don’t Hide event, Canada’s largest mental health bike ride. “Ride Don’t Hide is now one of our signature events for the Windsor-Essex branch. We are delighted that the event continues to grow each year. Awareness events such as this allow people to come together to talk about mental illness and address the stigma,” says Claudia den Boer, CEO, CMHA-WECB.
The 2017 Ride Champion for the Windsor-Essex Ride is Olympian Noelle Montcalm.
Ride Don’t Hide is open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels. Registration is $40 until June 24 and $50 on June 25 for youth and adults and free for children 12 and under. Individuals, families and teams can register online at http://ridedonthide.com/on/ride/windsoressex/
