Global – Here we go again with another year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride for dapper dressed gentlemen and women riding their Cafe’ Racer, Bobber, Classic, Tracker, Scrambler, Old School Chopper, Modern Classic, Sidecar, Classic Scooter, Brat Styled motorcycles with two or three wheels. This ride is to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health programs.
The dapper riders will be suited-up in their smartest attire to ride their motorcyclists around the world, united in the aim of raising $7 Million USD for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health initiatives on behalf of official charity partner, the Movember Foundation.
The Movember Foundation is the leading charity dedicated to helping men lead happier and healthier lives. Together with The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, the Foundation is dedicated to addressing some of the largest health issues faced by men around the world.
Founded in 2012 by Mark Hawwa in Sydney, Australia, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has raised over $18.5M USD for men’s health, with a goal of raising a further $7M USD to the cause in 2019.
With over 1 million men losing their lives annually to suicide and prostate cancer, this event is calling on the global classic and vintage style motorcycling community to stop men dying too young. This year, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride will parade through the hearts of over 700 cities across 110 countries on Sunday the 29th of September, 2019.
