Good afternoon everyone and apologies for sending this out again but I just thought I’d give you a quick nudge if I could. On Sunday 24th September 2017, I will be taking part again in a world wide fund raising event called the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. I’ve taken part in this in the last two years and thanks to some very generous support managed to raise over £2800 for the charities involved, in that time. So what is the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride? Well the “propaganda” says that it’s “tens of thousands of distinguished gentlefolk in hundreds of cities worldwide who will don their cravats, tweak their moustaches, press their tweed and sit astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer research and suicide prevention.” Though it is a world-wide event the money raised in the UK (over 30 ride-outs in cities and towns throughout the UK) is allocated to a prostate cancer project run by Prostate Cancer UK. This year the event is also supporting “Movember” and Men’s Mental Health. As the subject of cancer is personal to me on a number of levels I’d like to be able to raise a lot of money so I hope you don’t mind me asking if you could help and donate to my fund raising page. Having done this ride and raised money over the past couple of years I can categorically state it is not arduous. Nor is it was not difficult, unless you count trying to dodge traffic in and around Leeds difficult. It was not a Tough Mudder "personal challenge" or "endurance" type of event. It is fun! Huge fun with like-minded people all wanting to help a great cause!! (and probably "show off" a little at the same time). Like many people around the world me and my family and friends have been affected by cancer in recent times, so when this opportunity to help came along I felt obliged to help and raise awareness of prostate cancer in the UK and globally and to help raise awareness of the efforts of greater minds than mine, to find a cure for this horrible disease. Last year I managed to raise £1511 and the year before £1354 to go towards that end which meant an awful lot to me and Prostate Cancer UK. I’d like to beat that figure this year if at all possible!!! Any help supporting my ride against prostate cancer in September would be gratefully received! If you can spare a few £££ I’d really appreciate it………if you can help please donate here - https://www.gentlemansride.com/rider/eltoro As I said it’s nothing strenuous and it is good fun but it’s something personal to me and I would like to support this every year. A huge thank you to those that have already sponsored me and a huge thank you in anticipation to those that hopefully can and will in the coming days https://www.gentlemansride.com/fundraisers/eltoro
You have to ride a classic style/retro type bike. Get dressed up as a Gentleman/lady. Raise shit loads of money for cancer research.
Entries are open for this years Distinguished Gentlemans Ride. I did it last year and it's a great day out, and all for a good cause. More details are here: https://www.gentlemansride.com/ And here: A video of last years Global event is here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=AArh41oYkqc Stay dapper
It's that time of the year again folks. On the 24th September 2017 I will be taking part in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride again to help raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. Last year, through your fantastic generosity, I managed to raise £1359 to try and help find a cure for prostate cancer. Over the past year I know a number of people that have been diagnosed with a variety of cancers (including me unfortunately!) and because of the strides made in treatments, funded by things like this, they have all been treated successfully! And with that in mind it would be awesome if you could help me raise money again for such a worthy cause. If you can spare a few £££ I would be very grateful. I like to think that what we'd be doing is helping the world become a better place. Help me raise awareness and funds if you can. Thank you for your support as always........you can donate on the following link. Thanks once again. https://www.gentlemansride.com/rider/eltoro
I've never had a bike that had a chance of getting past their 'style' police before now. Has anyone done the Bristol one? Is it any good?
