I’ll see you on the London ride, I’m one of the Marshall's, as I have been for the last three years.
In September I shall be participating in this year's Distinguished Gentleman's Ride - a worldwide effort to raise awareness of prostate cancer and men's mental health. Many on here will understand that this is a cause that's close to my heart for very personal reasons, and I'd be more grateful that I could possibly articulate for any support by way of donations from fellow TZers.
My fundraising page can be found here.
These causes have been neglected in the past, but through the DGR they are at last beginning to get the exposure they need in order that support can be made available. Thank you so much for any help in this respect.

Like to participate, but unfortunately the Harley doesn't fit in! Will probably donate anyway.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Good for you Tony. There couldn’t be a better reason to ride, for friends who are with us and friends we miss.
Hope you get some decent pictures to share with us afterwards :).
All the best with this Tony as it a wonderful event, my only advise is change your ride now to any except the London one as its not fun at all just constant stop start and pisses the capital off whereas the slightly out of towns really appreciate the support, are more fluid, and will be alot more fun.

Hundreds of Harleys there last year, got registered and get a few quid in the pot

Excellent event, I've forwarded it to my biker mates.
I'm of the opposite opinion.
Riding past all the landmarks in the capital, which are packed with tourists, all asking what's going and why is everyone dressed up so smart.
We had cards to hand out last year explaining the cause and with a contact address where they could donate if they'd enjoyed the spectacle... after all, that's the whole point of the ride, to raise awareness.
And what's the point of dressing up to the nines and blatting through the countryside where no bugger can see you.
Done :)
Looks like a wonderful day for a great cause.
All the best,
Phil
I'm going to bump this thread. I'm hugely grateful for every donation made to date, but these are such worthy causes, and they've touched me very directly; every single £1 donated will make a difference, so please visit my fundraising page and give what you can.
I don't know about 'distinguished' or 'gentleman' but it's a great cause!

Btw can you all get exemption from the congestion/Ulez charges?

Thank you!
I need £119 to hit the target of £1k, and any support that would push me closer would be gratefully received.
Please, please, please pop over to my fundraiser page and donate what you can. These causes are so important.
Great job Tony, great causes!
Whilst being hugely grateful for all the donations to date I’m going to shamelessly bump this again, as the fundraising is for some really important causes affecting men’s health and wellbeing. The work being done here will literally save lives.

Come on gents (and ladies with a gent in their lives). Tony’s given us all a good excuse to raise some money for some very good causes.
Plus he’s going to put some good photos up afterwards - right Tony? :)
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Every year in the UK alone, many thousands of lives are lost, and families shattered, as a consequence of male suicide. For the most part it affects men over 40, but of late it's become a real issue for teens and upwards as well.
My son was in his late twenties when he took his life.
I don't want sympathy, I'd just be grateful for donations to the fundraiser for which I'm raising money. You can do that here.
Only just seen this. It's for a great cause. Good luck to you and all.
