TUNED UP GOAL TO REDLINE AT 6000

Saturday 10th May 2025

My heart is full ... My wall of donors is still growing ... the latest addition, my brother in law Paul Archer.  

See your name emblazened on my update image posts ... get a nice tax deduction ... and most importantly support two great causes: Men's Mental Health Resources and Prostate Cancer Research.

We're at $5052 for 2025 and an amazing $22,217 over our 13 year run riding in, photographing, volunteering for and hosting DGRs on two coasts ... first LA in the early years, and now NYC for more than a decade.

Support the cause through our page at: https://gfolk.me/nycmotorcyclist

Wow ... thanks to donations today from Claire Macdonald and Laura Bourhenne we're on the verge of $5K, all in aid of Men's Mental Health Resources and Prostate Cancer Research.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY COMING THROUGH

Saturday 3rd May 2025

Many thanks to Terry Danuser, Serapio Baca and my cousin Sarah John for their contributions.

We are now at $4834, a mere $166 away from our $5000 goal ... one that has been uprated three times due to your generousity so far.

Incredibly, the total for our last 13 years combined is now a cool, clean $22K.

Tally Ho!

THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED

Tuesday 15th Apr 2025

The DGR smile just got bigger. Maybe I'm on to something ... all this dressing in black and looking grumpy wasn't nearly as successful.

My goal for 2025 was $2731, raised for men's mental health resources and prostate cancer research ... an odd figure, but it rounded out my total over the years to a clean $20,000!

Thanks to several generous donors, I have surpassed that at $3032 with over a month left. My heart is full.

To date my sponsors include family, friends and colleagues: NYC Motorcyclist, Tony & Lasandra, Benedicte & Mark, Melissa Menard + Gillette and a large anonymous donor.

For my 13th year running, I will again be doing the NYC ride, as a host, photographer and photo/video team lead.

My highest total to date was in 2022 at $3322.96, which with your help will drop to no. 2.

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

Monday 24th 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.
