A NOTICE ON COVID-19
We’re in uncharted waters with COVID-19, but we’re all in the same boat. We may not be able to be together, but you are not alone.
How we are all experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic changes every day. As with so many upcoming events, we are unable to predict at this moment what Ride Don’t Hide 2020 will look like. But we remain committed to providing a chance to connect – to our own mental health, to each other, to our communities and to the nationwide movement to bring mental health into the open.
We are working hard to find ways to keep our riders, donors, volunteers, and staff safe while ensuring that Ride Don’t Hide is an inspiring and rewarding experience. Stay tuned for details.
In the meantime, we would like to recognize those who stepped up early to help our community in sponsoring the event.
Because now more than ever, we need to show that – even when we’re physically distant – no one should have to struggle alone.
Keep well and stay safe.
