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

Why I Ride: A Personal Mission for Men’s Health

This isn’t just another charity ride to me.

On May 18, 2025, I’ll mount up for my 6th Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in Eugene—not just for the thrill of classic bikes and tweed, but to fight for the men who’ve been left behind.

Because here’s the truth: I’ve stood at the edge of that darkness too. Mental health struggles almost took me down, but my family, my bike, and this very ride reminded me we’re not meant to fight alone.

Now, I ride for:

The dads who dismiss check-ups until it’s too late.

The friends who say “I’m fine” through gritted teeth.

The sons who’ll grow up in a world where “toughing it out” isn’t the only option.

Your Support Changes Lives

Movember’s work saves real men—through prostate cancer research, suicide prevention, and breaking the stigma. Every dollar you give fuels that fight.

P.S. To my Eugene DGR crew—thanks for calling me the “Iron Butt from Salem.” No distance is too far when we ride together.
