BMH Century Ride
Saturday August 25th, 2007

A great time was had by all at the Century Ride sponsored by BMH and Meeting Waters YMCA! Approximately 130 people showed up at BMH on Saturday, August 25th to ride one of the three "historical" routes through Windham County, 'exercising' their rights to exercise!

About $3,000 was raised through donations which will be split between the two sponsors of the event: Meeting Waters YMCA for their Activate Windham County public health initiative. The regional Y¹s Activate Windham County program aims to support ³health seekers² in creating and sustaining a healthier lifestyle (for info about this go to meetingwatersymca.org). The other half of the proceeds will be used to provide scholarships for theBMH Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Programs. These BMH programs offer a new lease on life to participants who have had heart or lung problems.

Following are some photos from the day's event:
