Grief and Goodness

Monday 22nd Apr 2024

Not knowing the impact the decision to join my first DGR in 2018 would have,  I find myself six years later having the privilege of riding yet again in this worldwide act to combat mental illness.  

I am weeks away from getting my masters in social work, completing a lifelong dream of desiring to be present and help others.  

I have known and know those who have suffered from self harm, addiction, anxiety, depression and loneliness.  I ride for them and with them defying the darkness and telling stories in the brightness of a new day.

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

Tuesday 26th Mar 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.
