Virtual Event Announcement
MENTAL HEALTH WEEK May 4 – 10 ~ Each year, CMHA, Kamloops kicks off our annual fundraising event during Mental Health Week – Ride Don’t Hide (RDH link). This year, due to The COVID-19 pandemic, we can’t be together to ride so we’re going virtual for 2020. Because everyone deserves to feel well, now more than ever. In a time of unprecedented uncertainty, stress, anxiety and physical distancing, we all need connection to and support from our communities like never before.
The COVID-19 pandemic means that we can’t be together this year for Ride Don’t Hide.
But you are not alone.
Ride Don’t Hide is going virtual for 2020. Because everyone deserves to feel well, now more than ever. In a time of unprecedented uncertainty, stress, anxiety and physical distancing, we all need connection to and support from our communities like never before.
Show everyone that even though we’re apart right now, they’re not alone in dealing with their mental health. Register, ride and raise funds for mental health at www.ridedonthide.com.
We don’t have to ride shoulder to shoulder to stand up together for mental health. Riders – and spinners, walkers, runners, yogis, kitchen dancers, meditators, and every other mental health champion – can find their community and register online to Ride Outside, Ride Inside, or Ride In Spirit and raise funds to support mental health programs and services.
We can’t be together, but in Ride Don’t Hide, Virtually, no one rides alone. We may be at home, but together we’re a movement for mental health.
As we face an unprecedented physical health crisis due to COVID-19, we are also facing an unprecedented mental health crisis. Businesses are shutting down, offices are closing, people are working from home and others have lost their jobs. We are being asked to self-isolate when social connection and belonging are core to good mental health.
Ride Don’t Hide, Virtually raises essential funds for core services and critical programs that work to keep people out of crisis and support people of all ages with the mental health help they need, when they need it, wherever we are.
Ride Don’t Hide, Virtually is your ride, your way. Ride outside, ride inside, or ride in spirit to bring mental health into the open, wherever you are.
Apart we can be strong, but together we’re unstoppable.
