Minding Your Mind's Race to Raise Awareness for Mental Health Issues in Adolescents!
Chris O'Brien, Andrew Onimus & Sean O’Keefe have teamed up to participate in this year’s Tour de Shore with our goal being to raise money & awareness for Mental Health Issues in adolescents!
The Tour de Shore is a 65 mile charity bike ride from Philadelphia, PA to Atlantic City, NJ and will take place on Sunday, July 29th, 2018. All proceeds from our efforts will be donated to Minding Your Mind (MYM) a Philly based non-profit whose primary objective is to provide mental health education to adolescents, teens and young adults, their parents, teachers and school administrators. Their goal is to reduce the stigma and destructive behaviors often associated with mental health issues. Treatment is available, yet only 3 out of 10 individuals needing help actually seek help. Minding Your Mind Programs move away from crisis based response to prevention through education.
MYM's educational programs provide information regarding signs and symptoms of these disorders, in addition to stressing that they are treatable and treatment is available. Mood disorders have been identified by the World Health Organization as the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Since the age of onset of most psychiatric disorders is typically during adolescence, it is essential that the proper information be brought to the attention of secondary school educators, counselors, students and their parents. MYM has provided over 1,200 presentations and reached over 150,000 students during the 2017-2018 school year alone. Minding Your Mind offers a free presentation and program to all schools who request a mental health education assembly. This is only possible because of the generation contributions of individuals like yourself!
Andrew and I are looking for individuals to join us in the 65 mile race to AC! You can register for Tour de Shore by simply visiting their website https://www.tourdeshorechildrensfoundation.org/ . If you are not looking to ride, you can contribute to the efforts by donating directly to this GoFundMe page and sharing it through various platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.. our goal is to raise $2500 by July 28th so time is of the essence! We greatly appreciate your contributions in advance and even hope to see some of you at the finish line in AC!
Kind Regards,
Chris, Andy & Sean
