Background
On May 20, 2009, Mel Thompson, senior business executive with Xerox Canada will dip his wheels in the Pacific Ocean in Vancouver and for the next one hundred days he will pedal eastward. His journey is called the Xerox Ride for Mental Health. The ride will conclude when Mel reaches St. John's, Newfoundland on August 29th and dips his wheels in the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, a series of events designed to build awareness and acceptance about mental health issues will take place. In Ottawa, Xerox and the Sens Foundation created the SENSational Ride for Mental Health. Mel will be in Ottawa on July 27.
