Friday 3rd May 2024Steve Bishop (Esteban Obispo) is Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Wednesday 10th Apr 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. 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.
What do DGR Donations Fund?
Wednesday 10th Apr 2024Movember will allocate a total of USD $2,214,991 of the 2023 Campaign proceeds across various projects in the USA which will continue to support existing Movember prostate cancer focused initiatives and be invested in Young Men’s Mental Health and Men’s Health Literacy Initiatives. Movember’s work in young men’s (12-25) health will enhance their mental health by improving their ability to successfully navigate the stressors of adolescence; and reducing the likelihood of them utilising unhealthy coping mechanisms. Movember’s work in Men’s Health Literacy will assist men in understanding their health and provide them with the skills and resources they need to manage it well. Further details of these investments will be shared in the 2024 Annual Report.
Why I'm Riding DGR
Friday 29th Mar 2024I have seen too many friends struggle with physical/mental health issues without reaching out for help. So a bunch of us are going to dress funny (dapper?) and ride around to get your attention on this subject. Please take a minute to click “About DGR” and also visit Movember’s web page to see the great work they are doing. You also might find some info that may help someone you care about. And, oh, if you feel compelled, click DONATE!
