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

On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, I'm riding a motorcycle in a fundraising event called “The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride” to raise funds and awareness for men's mental health and prostate cancer on behalf of Movember, which is an annual event to raise awareness of men's health issues (including the culturally taboo topic of mental health).  Men die on average 6 years earlier than women, largely for preventable reasons, much of which are culturally ingrained taboos and attitudes that need to be openly and frankly identified and overcome.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride consists of thousands of people in cities all over the world joining in an organized motorcycle ride where they dress is classic, gentlemanly attire of a bygone era and riding mostly classic or modern-retro bikes (think Triumph, Norton, Moto Guzzi, etc) and has raised over $45 million over 13 years. So, before I dust off my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to help me raise money for these causes by donating what you can to help men live happier and healthier lives.
