As part of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride on Sunday (24 September), Putoline’s Steve Brookes donned his finest attire (with a slight Italian twist) and joined the thousands of dapper men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness of prostate cancer and men’s mental health.
Last year, thanks to everyone’s fabulous generosity, the area sales manager for the north-east was in the top 15 Sheffield fund-raisers out of more than 300 gentlefolk. This year he was able to smash his way into the top 10!
Riding with daughter Ruby (18) and raising a fantastic £483, Steve finished fourth in the Sheffield area as well as coming inside the top 1200 fund-raisers in the whole of the UK.
The current amount raised stands at $4.4m – with all of the proceeds going to the Movember Foundation who are using the funds to aid in the fight against prostate cancer and male suicide.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has over 92,000 registered riders worldwide.
In Glasgow, more than 300 ladies and gentleman participated, despite wind and rain.
Awards were presented to the Best Dressed Female, Most Dapper Gentleman and Best Motorcycle in Show, with prizes donated from luxury tweed specialists Walker Slater and the very successful Wax On Wax Off vehicle cleaning care professionals. An incredible £12,000 was raised.
