Riding for a Cause: The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2025

Thursday 1st May 2025

Again this year, I’m proud to be participating in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride—a global motorcycle event that brings riders together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. We’ll be suiting up and riding in style to support a cause that’s close to so many of us: the fight against prostate cancer and the support of men’s mental health through the incredible work of the Movember Foundation.

This isn’t just a ride—it’s a movement. Every dollar raised goes directly to Movember’s mission to fund life-saving research and programs that support early intervention, diagnosis, and mental health support for men around the world.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small donation can make a big difference. The funds don’t go to me—they go toward making sure our fathers, brothers, friends, and sons have access to the care and resources they need.

Please consider donating if you can, and thank you for supporting this important cause.

Let’s ride dapper, ride safe, and ride with purpose.

13 days to go!

Wednesday 8th May 2024

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride brings together aficionados of classic and vintage-styled motorcycles from across the globe, rallying for a noble cause: to champion prostate cancer research and men’s mental health awareness.

Enthusiastic riders eagerly enlist, embarking on a journey to raise vital funds in support of The DGR, acting as ambassadors for the Movember Foundation (https://us.movember.com/). As they rev up their engines, riders have the opportunity to include a "pillion" (passenger rider), extending the invitation to others to join in the fundraising efforts. Together, they form dynamic teams, united in their commitment to making a difference.

Then, on May 19th, riders worldwide don their finest attire, exuding elegance and sophistication as they mount their motorcycles, parading through city streets to broadcast the message far and wide, amplifying awareness for this vital cause.

My team is gearing up for the South Seattle ride, rallying support from employers, friends, and family to make a difference. A contribution from you would be instrumental in helping me reach my personal fundraising target of $500.

Your generous donation will not only propel me toward my goal but also fuel our collective efforts to support prostate cancer research and men’s mental health initiatives through The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. Together, we can ride with purpose and make a meaningful impact in our community and beyond. Thank you for considering supporting this important cause.

The Donations Are Rolling In!

Let's ride.

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

Thursday 20th Apr 2023 On Sunday the 21st of May 2023, 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.
