a sign of mental health

inspired by a trip around the world and the tragic loss of his son, Dieter Schneider founded the Fellows Ride initiative to draw attention to depression and to collect donations for local mental projects. Her first exit took place in Würzburg in 2021 and was a complete success: 350 participants and 5,500 euros donations came together. In contrast to this, almost 3,000 people took part in 25 events in five countries in 2024, in which over 114,000 euros were collected for mental health projects.
