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

On 5/18/2025, I’ll be donning my finest threads, firing up my motorcycle, and joining thousands of riders around the world for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR)—a unique event that combines classic style, the love of motorcycling, and a powerful mission: to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride isn’t your average motorcycle event. It’s a global movement that brings together classic and vintage-style motorcycle riders who care about making a difference. Since its inception in 2012, DGR has grown to encompass over 100 countries and has raised millions for the Movember Foundation.

Why I Ride

For me, participating in the DGR is about more than just the thrill of the ride (though let’s be honest—that’s a big part of it). It’s about standing in solidarity with men around the world who are facing serious health challenges, often in silence. Mental health struggles, especially among men, are still too often stigmatized. This ride is a loud, stylish, two-wheeled reminder that no one should go through it alone.

This year, I’ll be suiting up in true dapper fashion—think tailored blazer, crisp shirt, and maybe even a bow tie—and hitting the road with fellow riders in Bay Area. We’re swapping out the usual biker gear for vintage elegance, all to grab attention for a truly meaningful cause.

How You Can Help

I have a fundraising link through the DGR platform, and I’d be honored if you’d consider supporting the cause. Every dollar raised goes toward life-saving research and initiatives that support men’s health.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing the word is just as valuable. The more visibility we bring to this ride and the causes it supports, the more impact we can make.

Join the Ride, Join the Movement

Whether you're a fellow rider, a supporter, or just someone who appreciates a good cause wrapped in great style, I encourage you to check out the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. It’s more than a ride—it’s a statement.

Let’s ride dapper. Let’s ride with purpose. And let’s ride for those who need our support the most.

See you on the road. 🏍️🎩
