Gearing Up for My First Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Monday 19th May 2025

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride for the very first time this year!

 

For those who aren’t familiar, the DGR is a global motorcycle event that brings together riders dressed in their finest suits to raise awareness and funds for men’s health—specifically prostate cancer research and mental health programs. It’s a unique blend of style, community, and purpose that I’ve admired for years, and I’m finally taking part.

 

Why I’m Riding

This ride is more than just a fun excuse to wear a tie while riding a motorcycle (though that’s definitely a cool part of it). It’s a movement that supports causes that matter—especially mental health, which often goes unspoken among men. By joining the DGR, I’m hoping to contribute to a conversation that needs to keep growing.

 

What I’m Looking Forward To

As a first-time participant, I’m looking forward to everything: meeting fellow riders, seeing all the bikes (especially the classic and vintage styles), and being part of something truly global. There's something powerful about riding with purpose—knowing that bikers all around the world are suiting up for the same cause.

 

I’ll be sharing more as the date approaches, including my ride prep, fundraising progress, and (of course) a few photos of the final dapper look.

 

If you’d like to support the cause, feel free to check out my DGR fundraising page [insert your link if you have one]. Every bit helps!

 

Stay tuned—and ride dapper.

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

Tuesday 29th Apr 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.
