On November 12, 2011, Michael Schratter, a Vancouver teacher and 24 Hours newspaper social columnist, who lives with bipolar disorder, completed his solo global journey called Ride Don’t Hide. Michael cycled 40,000 kilometers across 6 continents and 33 countries to raise awareness about Mental Illness and end the stigma surrounding it. Three years later Michael’s inspiration continues as the Canadian Mental Health Association hosts their annual cycle event in 4 provinces and 19 communities.
