Shocked and humbled!
Sunday 12th May 2024I can't believe that my sponsors have helped me DOUBLE my very lofty goal of $1,000 to over $2,100!!
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to this cause. Mental health is one thing we seem to all talk about taking seriously but don't seem to work on ourselves as much as we should. I challenge you all to reach out to those folks that you keep meaning to but haven't found the time because life absolutely gets in the way. It can really help someone in need.
One more week to go and I am very excited to get on the saddle in support of good mental health practices and awareness!
First time!
Monday 29th Apr 2024I have been following the DGR for years but never have been on a ride. This year I am changing that.
Mental health has been a struggle for me personally for a very long time and was exasperated, like a lot people, by covid and rasing two small children during that time.
Recently my own mental has deteriorated so it is important to me to raise awareness for my fellow riders and community.
I am aiming to destigmatize asking for help when you are struggling and surround yourself with the people and activities that you love. Seek joy in the little things. Motorcycles are that escape from the harshness of daily life and so having the opportunity to raise awareness and fundraise for mental health speaks to me.
Don't feel obligated to donate if you aren't able but just share the profile and start the conversation around mental health!
All donations are much appreciated!
I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Monday 29th 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

Many of us forget the network support we have access to at times. Through friends, family, and govt' funded programs, we have many resources available to us. Speaking out and taking action takes strength and courage. Take care of yourself friends.
