The need for mental health resources in our community has never been greater. 

​

In November, Nebraska data indicated that about one in four households had a loved one taking medications for mental health disorders or were receiving therapy. 

UNMC has experienced a nearly 80% increase in patients with a psychiatric crisis in their emergency room services from 2015 to 2019, with more than 3,000 visits during 2020.

​

This is an opportunity for our community to step up. By attending Bike With Mike or by making a donation in Mike's honor, you are making an impact by bringing awareness to the mental health resources in our community and encouraging event sponsors.
