This will be the 5th year I’m riding in the DGR. With its fundraising focus on men’s health through a partnership with the MOVEMBER FOUNDATION, the DGR has raised over 50 million to support men’s research and treatment of men’s health issues, with a focus on two critically important issues in men’s health: prostate cancer and mental health (particularly suicide prevention).

This year’s event (happening on Sunday) has already registered 172 riders. Last year, Phoenix DGR participants raised over $20,000

Below I include a personal story on how I got started in this ride AND why it’s important to me. But for now, enjoy a few photos from around the world where the DGR will be happening in 121 major cities with dapper riders raising money for men’s health and having fun doing it. And again, if you are inclined, go to my link and drop a dime.
