The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride unites classic and vintage-style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men's mental health. The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of a Hollywood celebrity astride a classic bike while wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives. Charley Boorman is an English television presenter, actor, and travel writer. Boorman is a noted motorbike enthusiast, and is well known for a series of three long -distance motorcycle journeys with friend Ewan McGregor, documented in the films Long Way Round, Long Way Down, and Long Way Up. At a young age, Boorman started acting in films directed by his father John Boorman. His first role was in Deliverance, and he also appeared in Ridley Scott's Alien. A cancer survivor, he has been a long-time supporter of both Movember and The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. Boorman resides in London, UK.
