Why I'm Riding For DGR

Sunday 13th Apr 2025

In 2018 I was diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate cancer. My Gleason score was 9, my PSA was 77. It didn't look good. I went through a series of expensive scans, and biopsy, 6 sessions of chemotherapy and 37 sessions of radiotherapy. It must have cost the NHS a fortune. Meanwhile, my best friend started a GoFundMe page to finance a rebuild of my beloved Kawasaki. I  am not cured, but I am more alive than I have been in years. I want to give something back, and this strikes me as a great way to do it. F**k Cancer!

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

Tuesday 25th Mar 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, 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.
