About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of the Tour de NAMI on mental health advocacy and community building.

What happens when passion, purpose, and community come together on the open road? In this episode of Anxiety Sucks , we kick off part one of our Tour de NAMI recap. We’re joined by Cork and Rick, the driving force behind Tour de NAMI, along with Amy Durham, CEO of NAMI Orange County, who experienced the ride firsthand this year. Together, they share how Tour de NAMI started, what it looks like on the road, and how this growing movement is connecting communities and breaking down stigma, one mile at a time. Whether you’re a cyclist, a mental health advocate, or someone looking for ways to get involved, this episode is a reminder that every action, big or small, can help move mental health forward. Be sure to tune in to part two, where we’ll dive into what’s next for Tour de NAMI and what to expect in 2026.
