Unfortunately my brother Ed (Edward) Binns passed away suddenly in April 2026 at the age of 54. I decided that I wanted something productive to come out of this terrible situation. I will therefore be undertaking a multiday bike ride of approximately 180 km (112 miles) per day for three consecutive days. Starting from my home in County Durham to places that meant something to Ed and his family. This will be undertaken on the 31 July to 2 August. This will include cycling to his son's places of study in Hull and Leyland. Then our childhood home farm, my Mum's house and the home that he shared with his wife and two sons (all in Lancashire) and then back to County Durham.

Ed was a diabetes sufferer so any money raised will go to the worthwhile cause Diabetes UK.
