Ride for Charity
Ride of a lifetime, riding for life.
Dental Entrepreneur, Carl Burroughs is raising money to support Prostate Cancer & Men’s Mental Issues by riding a Royal Enfield Motorcycle across the highest passable road in the world in India this September and he wants the dental community to get behind his efforts and donate to the cause.
“Like many motorcycle enthusiasts, I support the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride each year by attending my local charity ride. However, this year I want to ramp up my efforts and raise a more significant amount of money for this very worthwhile cause. I had the idea last year after riding around Nepal with a group of friends, who agreed with me that if we are going on such adventures we should use these adventures to raise money for charity. We all blog and use Facebook to tell our friends how we are going, so extending this to get a broader following just make sense”
“Also, the charity we support does amazing work in the area of Prostate Cancer and Men’s Mental Issues and these are very relevant to the men who work in the dental profession. This is my 17th year working in the dental profession and I have lost friends in the profession to both cancer and suicide and neither issue gets enough publicity or research funding and I am hoping I can get the profession behind me to help make a difference.”
“Even though awareness of many issues in society has improved in recent times, men are still reluctant to talk about their problems and I believe this is compounded in the dental profession due to the isolation many dentists feel”
