Make a Gift to Riverside Community Care in Support of Dr. Patrick McEnaney’s 'Mountain Lakes 100' Ultramarathon Run

My name is Dr. Patrick McEnaney, and I am a UMass surgeon based out of Milford Regional Medical Center. I will be running the Mountain Lakes 100-miler in Oregon on September 21 and 22. This challenge is not merely a test of physical endurance but a profound mission to raise awareness and funds in the fight against suicide.

When I was 12 years old, I lost my oldest brother to suicide at the age of 16. Ten years later, I lost my older brother to suicide when I was in my third year of medical school. Having suffered such tremendous losses from suicide, I have made it a personal mission to do all that I can to help prevent suicide.

Every step of this ultramarathon will honor the strength and resilience of those touched by mental health struggles and honor the memories of my brothers. I also hope to make a difference for others. Funds raised for my run will support Riverside Community Care, a beacon of hope in this mission, providing essential behavioral health and human services to over 40,000 individuals and families in Massachusetts each year. Their work spans mental health and substance use care, youth programs, trauma response, critical suicide prevention and postvention services, and more.

I invite you to join me in this vital cause. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly support Riverside Community Care’s essential services and their life-saving suicide prevention programs. Together, we can make a profound impact. Please use the donation form on this page to contribute and be part of this transformative effort.

Thank you for your support and for standing with us in this fight.
