The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, a worldwide charity event that raises funds to support men’s mental health and cancer research, celebrated another successful year as more than 125,000 classic and vintage styled motorcycles in 1,038 cities took to the streets. The event took place in 108 countries on May 18, 2025, raising $7.3 million to contribute to a total of over $60 million raised since the event began in 2012. For the 12th consecutive year, the event was supported by Triumph Motorcycles.
DGR, founded by Mark Hawwa, has been supporting Movember for 10 years. Movember is a leading charity for men’s health, with a focus on mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. To date, the charity has funded over 1,250 project around the world and continues to encourage men to stay healthy in all areas of their lives.
“Every year, our community unites to raise critical funds and awareness to prostate cancer and men’s mental health,” says Mark Hawwa, founder of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. “To see over 125,000 riders take to the streets in more than 1,000 cities around the world is nothing short of extraordinary. We’ve reached incredible milestones together. 2025 marks 10 years of support from Movember, and with their partnership, we’ve been able to include men’s mental health alongside prostate cancer. It’s inspiring to witness how far we’ve come – and it’s all thanks to the dedication of our riders, hosts, and supporters who continue to make this movement matter.”
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride also celebrates 10 years of partnership with Hedon, a luxury helmet maker that offered unique helmets to reward 100 of the event’s top fundraisers. Other partners include CMSNL, ELF Lubricants, Quad Lock, and BRETT Eyewear. Those interested can donate for a chance to win prizes from these brands until June 1, 2025.
