The Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division announces the return of Ride Don’t Hide
ERIN CHRISTIE COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CMHA NS
The Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division [CMHA NS] is proud to announce the return of Ride Don’t Hide.
Ride Don’t Hide is CMHA’s signature event, raising funds for programs and services to support people living with mental illness and those experiencing mental health challenges across the province.
Ride Don’t Hide is a virtual, chooseyour-own-adventure challenge. The cyclists cycle and the walkers walk. The runners run and the spinners spin. You can ride, walk, run, dance or do yoga – whatever you do to move for your mental health, for 330 minutes in June, and help support essential programs and services across Nova Scotia.
It’s free to register and open to anyone living in the province, so no one gets left out or left behind.
Why ride?
Each year, 1 in 5 people in Nova Scotia experiences a mental illness or mental health issue, but 5 in 5 of us—that’s all of us—have mental health. And we all need to take care of it. Participating in Ride Don’t Hide gives everyone an opportunity to play a vital role in ensuring that more Nova Scotians have access to mental health programming and navigational support, free of cost, when and where they need it.
