    Default The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

    I'm planning on doing this ride on May 23rd on my R80ST.

    The ride is a fundraiser through the Movember organization, raising awareness and money for both Prostate Cancer and Men's Mental Health.

    If would like to make a donation, you can do it here => https://gfolk.me/PeterMiller404827

    This is an effort my wife’s former firm supported through individual partner donations. I think a former colleague of hers rides in the event. So Pete’s participation is a great way for us to stay involved. They do good work. Donation sent. Thanks Pete!

    It varies (wildly) by chapter.

    Dunno. What are you down for and what's the average donation from salon people?

    Reminder that life is precious...PLEASE consider making a donation.

    Yikes! Glad you are ok!? 4 days is a long time for a hospital stay these days.

    Thanks, Steven, and all others who have donated!

    Currently at $926 and hoping to reach $1,000 or more!

    Good Karma guaranteed with every donation, no matter how big or small...

    DJ...thank you for the donation, and thank you for the bump!

    I am truly humbled, as I have raised an amount that far exceeded what I thought possible.

    That said, this is a worthy cause, funding and research for Prostate Cancer and Men's Mental Health.

    I am grateful for all donations, regardless of amount, and there is still plenty of time to make one if you haven't done so already.

    The ride takes place Sunday, and I am excited to participate.

    Thanks again!
