EP 295 - Ride Away the Stigma: Ride for Mental Health with Mac Dorris

Mac Dorris, who founded The Ride for Mental Health inspired by his son, Eric. Eric struggled with mental health issues as a young man. He was eventually diagnosed with borderline personality disorder among other conditions, and tragically died of an accidental overdose at the age of 21.    Mac, an avid cyclist, created The Ride to honor his son’s life, and to shine a light of hope and caring for others. Eric’s memory lives on in the important work being funded by The Ride for Mental Health, and in the moments of connection and camaraderie that make the event so rewarding.  . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #personalitydisorders #mentalillness #cycling #cyclingevent #cyclinglife
