The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2022

20th March 2022 by Motorcycleminds Leave a Comment

Global – It has been a couple of years since we last highlighted – The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride – since 2019 to be precise.

While COVID 19 knocked us for a six in 2020 and in 2021 we sort of just stopped, both those years The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride took place in different and normal formats and in 2022 the ride just keeps going.

So catching up and if you haven’t heard of the The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride here is a recap from The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride themselves!

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride

“On Sunday, May 22nd, 2022, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride will return after celebrating 10 years of riding dapper! Over 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk in 750 cities worldwide don their finest attire, ready their engines, and press their tweed before sitting astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men’s mental health.”

“The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of the TV Show Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives.”

“That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities. The success of the event encouraged the founder to consider how it could be used to support a worthy cause.”

In 2013, over 11,000 participants in 145 cities around the world raised over $277k (US) for prostate cancer research.

In 2014, over 20,000 participants in 257 cities in 58 countries raised over $1.5M (US) for prostate cancer research.

In 2015, over 37,000 participants in 410 cities in 79 countries raised over $2.3M (US) for prostate cancer research.

In 2016, more than 57,000 participants in 505 cities from 90 countries mounted their motorcycles to raise awareness and $3.65M (US) to help fund research into prostate cancer and support male suicide prevention on behalf of Movember.

In 2017, more than 94,000 participants in 581 cities from 90 countries rode and raised $4.85M (US) to help fund research into prostate cancer and men’s mental health on behalf of Movember.

In 2019, more than 115,000 participants in 648 cities from 101 countries paraded through their cities to raise $6.3M (US) toward prostate cancer research and men’s mental health on behalf of Movember.

In 2020, navigating through a pandemic, we initiated a concept of riding solo while connecting digitally. By providing a Covid-safe solution we were able to raise an additional $2.7M (US) toward prostate cancer research and men’s mental health on behalf of Movember.

2021 marked 10 years of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, with riders celebrating a Decade of Dapper. To tip-off 10 years of DGR, riders raised the benchmark bringing DGR’s total raised to $31.5M (US) for men’s health since 2012.

“Influenced by the tragedy of losing one of our ride hosts to depression, 2016 saw a change in our health goals, where mental health and suicide prevention programs became a DGR focus in addition to prostate cancer research. This has all been managed through our official charity partner, Movember, and with the support of major sponsor Triumph Motorcycles, and sponsors Belstaff, Elf Lubricants, and Hedon Helmets.”

“The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is a celebration of the art of being dapper and riding classic and custom motorcycles. It has brought together hundreds of thousands of gentlefolk over a love of motorcycles but has united them over the causes of mental health and prostate cancer research.”
