Peterborough, ON – The Canadian Mental Health Association, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (CMHA HKPR) is thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of its 3rd Annual Change the Cycle fundraiser, held this past Saturday, June 21st, 2025, at Nicholls Oval.

The event saw an incredible outpouring of community support. A fantastic group of 86 riders hit the Rotary Greenway Trail, and their collective efforts, combined with the profound generosity of donors, culminated in a record-breaking fundraising total of $30,537.08, surpassing our initial goal of $25,000!

These funds will directly support Planet Youth through the Haliburton, Kawartha, Northumberland Peterborough (HKNP) Health Unit. This initiative is dedicated to enhancing youth and family mental wellness across these regions.

This is a huge win for youth and family mental health in our region, and it would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of our community. We extend our sincere gratitude to our esteemed Agents of Change, Linda Kash and Michelle Mackey, for lending their voices and hearts to this cause. Their support is deeply appreciated!
