Riding with a purpose

Friday 28th Mar 2025

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is an annual event held worldwide, but it carries special meaning on Long Island. Riders don their finest attire—think tailored suits, crisp shirts, and dapper hats—and gather in unison to support mental health initiatives for men. As we know, mental health is often stigmatized, and many men struggle silently with issues like depression and anxiety. By coming together as a community of riders, the DGR breaks down those barriers, offering both support and awareness.

The ride on the North Fork is particularly meaningful, as it highlights the power of open conversation in a region that’s known for its small-town charm and tight-knit communities. It’s a place where people know each other, and that sense of connection amplifies the event's message. Whether you’re riding with old friends or meeting new faces, the experience fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect, making each mile that much more significant.

 

 

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Wednesday 26th Mar 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
