Thank you donors... ;-)

Sunday 19th May 2024

Just a quick note to say thank you to those that have donated to this charitable cause.

Why...?

Here are some sweeping generalisations and observations of my own:

-> Men are ..."different".

-> Men don't generally talk about their health as they/we generally consider it to be a sign of weakness.

-> Men, historically, and currently, still generally view themselves as: The Hunter/Gatherer; provider of food, shelter and protection.

A good friend once asked me:

"...what wouldn't a mother do for her child...?"

My reply was obvious:

"...what wouldn't a father do for his child...?"

I was lucky enough to have had a strong, firm yet kind father, who passed far too soon.

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

Sunday 28th Apr 2024 On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, 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.
