Let's Get Rolling! Please Help Sponsor my 2024 DGR Ride!
Tuesday 16th Apr 2024It's that time of year, one of my favorite times of year; the annual Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. While all year is the right time to focus on mental helalth and other maladies impacting us gents, now is the time of year to do something about it.
If you have a guy who's health you care about; which should cover just about everyone then think about sponsoring my 2024 ride and supporting a great worldwide event and cause. Donations can be made right here on my rider page!
Thanks in advance for all those who support both me and this great event.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Tuesday 9th Apr 2024 On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, 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.My Sponsors

I was walking my dog around our local park earlier this week, when I noticed a man changing clothes behind the park roundhouse. As I got closer, I realized I knew this man from around the neighborhood; I had often seen him sitting in front of his apartment playing his guitar. I spoke with him and asked what happened and if he was living in the park now. He said yes and that he'd been struggling with mental health and family issues and had been kicked out of his home. I pulled together a bag of goods and food for him, but I knew this would only be temporary help and that he needed something bigger. Coming across this man reminded me of a couple of things. 1. Mental health issues don't discriminate and 2. We are all only a couple of big issues away from potentially ending up where he is.
This is one example of why I ride every year in the Distinguished Gentleman's ride. It's a worldwide event that has raised over $40M to combat men's mental health and prostate cancer. This years ride is May 19th and I'm in full fundraising mode. The money goes to the Movember foundtation, which supports dozens of initiatives worldwide. I'd encourage you to donate to support this cause, by sponsoring my ride this year. For those of you who already have, a big thank you.
If you have a man in your life you care about and value, this is a worthy cause. I thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post and for supporting a great charity and worthy cause.
Best,
Adam
