I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Wednesday 27th Mar 2024On 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. 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.
Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons - mainly that we don’t talk about cancer in men as much and men are 4 times less likely to get screened than women. The number of men that are affected is growing, and we need to do raise awareness and funds to change the trend.
I’m riding for my Papa who’s beat three kinds of cancer so far - proud of you S.O.B. (Sweet Ole Bob) -, my brother who beat bladder cancer, and all the men in my life fighting the battle. I ignored a lesion for years thinking it was a wound that just never healed right finding out years later it was skin cancer. Surgeon removed it all. I was lucky it was only skin cancer, and I hadn’t ignored something more serious like we (men) do. We need to ask for help, get checked when things don’t seem right or at the right ages, and support each other going through tough treatments and recoveries.
Thanks to everyone who supported me last year! We reaised $1,100 together for the men in our lives. Can we beat it in 2024? Let's rally up and find out!
