Tim did it! He completed the Arkansas Graveler last Saturday, covering 352 miles in 5 days along the eastern side of the state, including 105 miles on the final day. He reported to work this morning, able to stand and walk on his own. 🙂

More importantly, he had opportunities to discuss the Arisa mental health mission with fellow riders along the way and even met up with 2 Arisa board members - Cedric Williams in Forrest City and Clyde Noel in Marianna. And so far, we have raised over $1,800 for the Arisa Mission Fund to assist with charitable care services for clients in need. Special thanks to everyone who generously donated to this effort.

So Tim's "Ride for a Reason" is complete, but the vision continues - transforming communities one life at a time.

If you would like to make a gift, there’s still time to contribute.

Our Chief Philanthropy & Marketing Officer is taking on the Arkansas Graveler this October - a 340+ mile cycling adventure across Arkansas, beginning in Jonesboro and ending in Arkansas City. More than half of the route will be on gravel and dirt roads!

He's already logged more than 2,000 miles on the bike this year in preparation, and he's turning the challenge into an opportunity to raise awareness and support for Arisa Health.

His fundraiser benefits the Arisa Mission Fund, which helps provide services for people who have no payment source for the care they need.

Thanks to some incredibly generous supporters, he's already raised more than $900! If you'd like to help keep the momentum going, you can make a gift here: https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/adaptive-donor-form?formId=098a8869-9629-4e3d-ae8d-3bde798b8c7b&envid=p-iNOQSondlk6kvTdjD1rO-w&zone=usa

We'll be cheering him on every mile - and hoping Arkansas serves up some beautiful riding weather!

Many times someone in crisis doesn’t need the guys with badges and guns to respond, and that’s where mobile crisis teams come in‼️
This morning, Shadun Duncan, Associate Chief of Grants & Business Development for Arisa Health and Christy Mathis-Conway, Behavioral Health Assistance Team Program Manager for Arisa Health spoke to Jonesboro E911 Dispatch Supervisors about how the “BHAT” team can connect community members to resources and offer support for individuals experiencing a crisis.
You can speak to the Arisa Health mobile crisis team by calling (870) 819-7410 M-F between 8am-4pm
