MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEMS Tour De Recovery
BY DR . WENDY BROUGHTON
Mental Health Systems CEO Jim Callaghan
While the last few years have been a minefield of social challenges in an unrelenting pandemic , the Tour de Recovery ( TDR ) was a harbinger of hope ! The TDR was developed with great excitement to raise awareness and celebrate recovery as an innovative fundraising event . In partnership with the idea curator Cork Snider , Mental Health Systems ( MHS ) embarked on a multi-day 600-mile bike ride beginning in San Jose and ending at the MHS Family Recovery Center ( FRC ) in Oceanside .
The ride hosted speakers and moving stories of personal heartbreak and the road to recovery . From family testimony shouldering the pain of watching a loved one suffer to the courage it takes for those in the grips of addiction to finally accept help . Endurance riders CEO Jim Callaghan , Cork Snider and Rick Burns were not alone as there was a kids Mini Tour de Recovery to help kick it off . A beautiful , heartwarming reflection of enthusiasm and how a difference can be made at any age .
