A decade of dapper: 10 years of riding for men’s health

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Movember’s official charity partnership with The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR). A decade of impact worth celebrating! For 10 years, this global community of riders have come together to raise vital funds for research and programs for prostate cancer and men’s mental health worldwide. From online programs that aim to improve evidence-based engagement strategies for adolescent and middle-aged men to data-driven programs designed to improve health outcomes for men diagnosed and living with prostate cancer, these dollars have been saving lives the world over.

Over the past 10 years, DGR has seen more than 500,000 riders over the decade don their finest dapper drip and ride classic and vintage motorcycles in a show of solidarity for raising the profile of men’s health.

Beyond the numbers, DGR is about connection - bringing together individuals from all walks of life to challenge stigma and spark crucial conversations about men’s health. From riders sharing personal stories to communities rallying behind the cause, the event fosters a powerful sense of solidarity and support.

What is the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride?

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage motorcycle riders worldwide to raise funds and awareness for men’s health. Founded in Sydney in 2012, DGR has since grown into a global movement, raising over AUD $70.4M for men’s health initiatives. Learn more about the movement.
