I’m Again Riding in Support of Men’s Health!

Friday 11th Apr 2025

 

On Sunday May 18th I will be joining tens of thousands of riders worldwide as part of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) to raise funds and awareness for Men's Health on behalf of Movember, the world's largest men’s health organization, and I am again asking for your help.

Following my first DGR in 2001, I commenced my own DGR Grand Tour during which I have: ridden in excess of 46,000 miles; traversed 44 North American provinces/states; visited 79 DGR Host cities, and raised over $48,000 for Movember.

Funds raised for Movember support the three greatest challenges to men’s health:

* Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with 307,000 men dying from prostate cancer each year.

* Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged 20-39, with ¾ of all suicides being male. 510,000 men die from suicide each year, that's one every minute.

* Testicular cancer is the #1 cancer in younger guys, but the good news is it's highly curable when caught early.

My rides have focused on raising awareness of the valuable resources that Movember, provides for those facing each of these challenges: 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help financially support the great work of Movember by sponsoring my 2025 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride HERE.

Thank you,
John Stanhaus OGDG

 

WELCOME TO MY DGR SPONSORSHIP PAGE

Friday 11th Apr 2025

Thank you for visiting my DGR sponsorship page/blog. 

There are any number of reasons you may have chosen to come here, other than a desire to raise money in support of Men's Health and the great work of Movember, so let me help you out.

As you can see, I have been participating in the DGR since 2021, the year of my late wife, Carey’s passing, and have been fairly successful in my fundraising efforts. Although the formal DGR takes place in over 900 cities worldwide on the same day each year, this year on Sunday May 18th, my efforts are a bit broader. 

As outlined on my Distinguished Gentleman's Ride Grand Tour - Facebook Page the posts WHY I’M RIDING FOR MEN’S HEALTH and WHAT IS MY DGR Grand Tour?, give you a bit of background, as well as narratives on my latest adventures/stunts.

Below you can view maps of my past tours. You may always email me at jdsdgrgt@gmail.com.

Enjoy

Hi John, I hope this donation is not too late! I have been busy the last month selling my home in CA and moving to a brand new home just outside of Fayetteville, AR. After retirement my wife and I decided that it was time to get out of CA for our retirement years! AR is not CA but just can’t afford CA on a retirement fixed income. Good luck with your ride and keep me posted from the road on your journey! Travel safe! Sincerely, Jerry Henry
