We are proud to announce that our Managing Director, Shane Friend, participated in the momentous Preston Bike Binge event. This year’s event promised to be bigger, better and more impactful than ever before.
Riding to make a difference: Preston Bike Binge
A decade of pedalling for a purpose
The Preston Bike Binge celebrated its 10th anniversary, becoming a beacon of hope and compassion for our community.
Each year, cycling enthusiasts and individuals with big hearts gather to pedal their way towards positive change. This year was no different with a commendable objective of reaching £13,000, aiming to surpass an impressive £100,000 milestone over the past decade.
The chosen charities were Cuerden Valley Trust – In memory of Ste Newton, Motor Neurone Disease Association – In memory of Len Johnrose, St Catherine’s and Derain House.
Supporting meaningful charities
The 10th edition of the Preston Bike Binge extended its support to four incredible charities, each with a unique mission:
In Memory of Ste Newton: This charity is dedicated to preserving and protecting the beautiful Cuerden Valley Park, ensuring that future generations can enjoy its wonders just as much as Ste did.
Motor Neurone Disease Association
In Memory of Len Johnrose: Raising funds for research, care, and support for those affected by motor neurone disease, in memory of the late footballer Len Johnrose, who battled the disease with incredible strength and courage.
Committed to providing compassionate care for people facing life-shortening conditions. St. Catherine’s Hospice has touched the lives of countless individuals and their families.
This exceptional charity helps children and young people, whose lives are too short, create happy memories in an environment of fun, respect, and, above all, outstanding care.
Conclusion
We want to thank Preston Bike Binge for providing the heartwarming opportunity for the community to unite, pedal for a purpose, and contribute to these meaningful causes. Together, we can continue breaking barriers, raising funds, and bringing positive change to our community.
