The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride brings together motorcyclists in classic and vintage styles from around the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men's mental health. On Sunday, May 19, bikers in Odessa also participated in this event.

Due to current conditions in Ukraine, it's challenging to make large donations for men's health, but bikers in Odessa joined this event to raise money for the treatment of psychological trauma resulting from war. Additionally, they served another purpose — entertaining Odessa residents and guests. Such events have been taking place in Odessa since 2018 and have always been one of the most vibrant and atmospheric events of the motorcycle season.

"Through this ride, we aimed to draw attention to the need to help men primarily suffering from prostate cancer and also from men's psychological disorders, suicidal tendencies, and PTSD treatment... We believe that this event is quite relevant in our country at this time. Annually, thanks to such an event, we manage to raise quite significant funds," said the official ambassador of the event, motorcycle school organizer Sergiy Sergiyenko.
