Where Community and Purpose Intersect Later this month, you might notice scores of sharply-dressed motorcyclists as they glide through the streets. That’s right, it’s time for the 2026 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride! Founded by Mark Hawwa and inspired by Mad Men’s Don Draper, this is a global event that aims to raise money for men’s health issues. “The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is a global motorcycle event that aims to bring together riders on vintage and classic motorcycles,” Host Jonathan Munn explains. “Although anyone with a motorcycle is welcome to join us. Together, we raise awareness and funds towards men’s health issues—specifically prostate cancer. It’s all about starting conversations that we, as men, don’t always care to have.” Since its inception in 2012, the organization has raised over $50 million dollars. Jonathan, an experienced motorcyclist himself, has taken it upon himself to host this year’s London’s ride. On May 17th, riders will meet at Lambeth Legion at 8am. At 9am sharp, they will take to the streets. “This is my first year with the DGR,” Jonathan states. “I’ve been in the motorcycle and vintage car space for a long time, so this is a nice alignment for me. As well, as someone who works in media and in nonprofit healthcare, it touches on my core values of impact and storytelling. The DGR is grassroots. It brings the community together for an amazing cause.”
So don’t delay! There’s still time to register for the event. “This ride is for anyone who loves motorcycles and anyone who wants to take part in a moment where community and purpose intersect,” Jonathan explains. “Information about all the available rides is online. Even if you’re not located in this area, there’s countless other rides taking place across Ontario and beyond.” Those interested in dusting off their choppers (and their finest suits!) are invited to fill out a form at www.gentlemansride.com.
