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.
I will have to ride the rubber cow from Subic to Manila to the event, but that is a lot more fun than from Los Banos to Manila. One day before Christmas that trip took us 6 hours, for 60km.
Details on the cause
Movember is the world’s largest men’s health organisation focused on universal, game-changing and realistic outcomes for prostate cancer and men’s mental health.
Prostate Cancer Statistics
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.
- 307,000 men will die from prostate cancer each year.
Suicide Prevention – Men’s Mental Health
- Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged 20-39, with ¾ of all suicides being male.
- 510,000 men die from suicide each year, that’s one every minute.
This is a number that we seek to drastically change and can only been made possible through raising funds and awareness to help prevent men from dying too young.

And, did I ride?
Unfortunately I had an assignment in Thailand and we were also moving from LB to Subic, so I missed the ride – again. Next year, for sure.
