what an amazing ride!
Saturday 24th May 2025The weather was glorious, the fellowship was awesome, the bikes were incredible! DGR 2025 was one of the best yet! A couple of riding buddies couldn't make it, but one of them did show up at the finish line spot to celebrate with us, which was a lot of fun!
Thank you all so much for your generous donations! Fundraising goes through June 1, so if you feel so moved, please click "sponsor me" and donate to Movember foundation!
Thank you again! Ride safe!

Two More Days!
Friday 16th May 2025Happy Friday, Everyone!
I have to say THANK YOU again to all who have so generously donated to the Movember Foundation by sponsoring my ride! While each year has been amazing, this year is next level, with just crossing $5,000 raised, with two days still to go!! With so many friends and family members donating, I am so grateful for all of you!
A special shout-out to G&G and all my fantastic G&G colleagues and clients who support this charity so well and show interest and enthusiasm in my passion for this charity, this event, and for motorcycling.
The weather should be EXCELLENT on Sunday, so I will get Harper polished up, press my outfit, suit up, and ride!
Thank you all so very much!
With Love and Gratitude,
Marc
WOW! THANK YOU!
Tuesday 13th May 2025Happy Monday Before DGR!
Less than one week before the big day, and you all have been so generous! I am excited to finish strong and perhaps exceed $3,500 in total 2025 fundraising!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generosity, and please see if your employers will match your donation! :-)
Ride safe and stay dapper!
Marc
Thank you! 10 days to go!
Thursday 8th May 2025Hello everyone!
I am truly humbled and grateful for all of the generous donations. THANK YOU!
I have raised more money this year than I have in any other year…This is my fourth year participating…And I am confident that I will reach my goal of $3000!
But we're not done! I want to thank in advance everyone who donates over the next 10 days.
Thanks again!
Best,
Marc
PS: for this year's ride, I picked up a new dapper cap! :-) What do you think?
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.
