CMHA hosting virtual Ride Don’t Hide mental health event

From the website, residents can enter by:

1. Registering and choosing your own adventure – pick an activity that excites you.

2. You can join our Strava Club by searching for Kamloops Ride Don’t Hide to see how other Kamloopsians are moving and compete with your friends.

3. Set your own goal for total minutes of activity in May and June 2022 (Pro tip – Don’t wait. Get started on your goal right away!)

4. Set up your personal Ride Don’t Hide page to track your activity and achievements.

5. Now go ahead and start raising funds. It costs $330 for CMHA to provide one more person with the community mental health programs, services, and support they need when they need them. (Pro-tip – You can send fundraising emails and post on your social media directly from your fundraising dashboard.)

6. Create or join a team of family and friends, or maybe in your workplace. (Your fundraising dashboard makes this easy, too.)

7. Ride! Or run, walk, jump rope, spin, do yoga, dance, climb stairs, lift weights, play tag with your kids…whatever gets your heart pumping for mental health. All through the month of June.

“The stigma around mental illness prevents people from seeking the help they need. Ride Don’t hide aims to start conversations to reduce the stigma, while fundraising money to expand local programs and help more people get the support they need to be mentally healthy,” the CMHA release reads.

Those looking to get involved in the event can register at ridedonthide.com/kamloopsevent.
