Beginning this year, it will be under new leadership, Mental Health America of the Heartland. This annual community bicycle ride increases our awareness that all people have the potential to recover from mental health disorders; that these are brain-based emotional, behavioral, and cognitive experiences that are common to many people. When you participate in Bike for the Brain, the money you raise for Mental Health America of the Heartland will affect a broad range of people in our community, many of whom struggle in silence or without resources against a common and growing epidemic of poor mental health and mental illness. YOU will help reduce the stigma and change lives for the better. And, you’ll have a fun time doing it! We can’t wait for you to join us!
