May 23rd marks the 10th anniversary of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride bringing people together across the world to dress dapper and ride to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health. Triumph Motorcycles have been supporting DGR for the past 8 years, which has brought together more than 300,000 classic motorcycle enthusiasts around the globe.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia in 2012 by Mark Hawwa. After inspiration from a photograph featuring classic suits and vintage motorcycles, Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of motorcyclists, connect the global motorcycling community and raise funds for a cause important to every rider.
The event has been attracting an increasing number of participants around the world every year since 2012. Since then, it has raised a total of $27.45 million. This year, the motorcycling fundraising event looks to reach the milestone of raising over $30M on its 10th year anniversary, to continue funding research and programs with Movember such as the Social Connections Challenge and the Veteran’s and First Responders Challenge.
