Riding for a Cause: Why I Participate in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Tuesday 25th Mar 2025As most of you know, I’ve been participating in The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) since 2018. It’s a global motorcycle event that raises funds and awareness for men’s health, focusing on prostate cancer and mental health.
Each year, I ride in memory of my childhood best friend, who we lost to suicide, and in support of my dad, who fought and overcame prostate cancer. This event means a lot to me and my family, and I look forward to it every year.
A Few Quick Stats
-Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men—over 307,000 men die from it each year.
-Suicide is the leading cause of death for men aged 20–39, with men accounting for 75% of all suicides. That’s roughly one man lost every minute.
How You Can Help
I’m late to the fundraising game this year (because, well—life), and I only have a few days left to hit my goal. If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing my story to help spread the word.
Thanks for the continued support—it means a lot. I love you all!
