Here we go again!!
Friday 28th Mar 2025On Sunday 18th May I will once again be riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Chester. This year is particularly poignant after my good friend Mike Issitt lost his hard fought battle with prostate cancer last year and passed away on 19th August. A great loss to us all and I will always be grateful to have known him for the time I did. Top Bloke.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Tuesday 25th Mar 2025 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.My Sponsors
