Living my dream of riding DGR in Italy

Friday 9th May 2025

This Sunday, May 18 is the big day!

All contributions are welcome and so very much appreciated!
* Everyone who contributes will receive a video call from me Sunday during the event in Parma, Italy (11am or after CST) 
* Contributors of $50 or more will also receive a special Italian dinner invitation to my home in New Orleans sometime during June. We'll eat pasta, drink Sangiovese, and share our mutual love of Italy and the importance of caring for the men we love.

ABOUT SUNDAY'S EVENT..
In 2016, while planning my first visit to Italy I fulfilled my longtime dream of learning to ride a motorcycle. Now, nearly 10 years later I am living my second motorcycle dream of joining the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Parma, Italy.
On Sunday, May 18 we will ride through the hills of Parma enjoying breathtaking views and the adrenaline of the road. Afterward there will be an exciting awards ceremony followed by a food and beverage apéritif accompanied by musical entertainment to celebrate an unforgettable day together. Be sure to check my Instagram @jstephenyoung for photos from the ride and after party.

Prostate cancer and suicide prevention are very serious health problems affecting millions of men worldwide and I am proud to be riding and raising funds to honor those we've lost and help those of us who are struggling.

Join me and dozens more riders and friends and family to cheer us at the starting line at Triumph Parma Italy on Sunday, May 18. If you can't join us in person, please consider making a contribution to the Movember Foundation for prostate cancer research and men's mental health programs.

Ciao!

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

Thursday 17th Apr 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.
