More than 700 participated in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Brendish read Olympic champion Clara Hughes&#8217; book, <em>Open Heart, Open Mind<\/em>, a memoir which includes her mental health struggles, last winter. Not long after that, he was approached by the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mps.cmha.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muskoka-Parry Sound branch<\/a><\/span> of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) for help with an event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said, I have an event. Let&#8217;s get people on board,&#8221; says Brendish. &#8220;I thought it would be a good fit. I feel that everybody is touched by (mental health), it doesn\u2019t matter who you are, in some capacity. Some people need more help than others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So this year, the not-for-profit ride focused on raising funds for the organization. Proceeds from registration, plus an option for riders to add an additional donation when they sign up, raised more than $9,000 for the cause. Brendish topped that up with proceeds from previous years to get to the $10,000 mark.<\/p>\n<p>And he plans to continue the effort in the future. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to see if we can grow it and raise more money for the cause.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikemuskoka.ca\/events\/spin-the-lakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spin the Lakes<\/a><\/span> is always held the last Saturday in May, with registration opening February 1.
