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

On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, 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. I completed my first DGR last year at the age of 76. This was the first ride from my home town Whitehaven on the out skirts of the English Lake District. The ride was extremely well supported by a range of distinguished Gentlemen and Ladies. I was really impressed by the friendly atmosphere and I am looking forward to meeting old friends and new ones this year.
