7m raised so far
Tuesday 21st May 2024Dublin Distinguished Gentleman's Ride completed
Monday 20th May 2024Thank you everyone for your support. Almost €700 raised on my site and over €16,000.00 raised for the Dublin ride (with donations still rolling in).
Fantastic support from everyone
Tuesday 14th May 2024To my friends, family and work colleagues I'd like to say 'Thank You' again for your continued support and donations. 2024 has already surpassed 2023 with respect to the donations on my DGR page and with 4 days to go before the event the Irish DGR community is just short of raising €60,000.00. I'm sure that amount will grow over the next week or so.
Funds raised by The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride are invested into Prostate Cancer and Men's Mental Health initiatives around the world in partnership with Movember.

Thank you.
Saturday 11th May 2024Thanks everyone for your support and for supporting Movember and The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride. Just like last year I've been surprised and encouraged with the volume of donations and it's very much appreciated.
So, even though the initial target was reached I'll update the 'Goal' amount, just so folks can see that the fundraising is still active.

Thanks again, Wayne

Wow, nearly €400 in a couple of days. Thanks very much. I think everyone these days feel the pinch of rising costs so I appreciate everyone who has been able to chip in.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Thursday 9th May 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

Well done Wayne. Other people fund raise by swimming across the Irish sea or running a marathon while you do it from the comfort of your motorbike! All in aid of a worthy cause.
