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

On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I am riding pillion with my husband Kel, in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) 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.

This year the DGR is coming to Whangārei for the first time and will be held at Ruakākā so before I put my "glad rags" on and polish my riding 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 and in rembrance of loved ones whose lives have been impacted as a result of either men's health or prostate cancer (of which I have personally experienced).
