Matthew Binns – The 3 Big Ones – Fundraising in 2012

Mathew Binns running the Marathon of the North

Mathew Binns has developed Binnsey’s Big 3! Matthew is planning these 3 events as a personal challenge and he decided that with all this sweat, pain and exhaustion he should try to raise some funds for the BPA.  Porphyria is close to his family’s heart and Matthew hopes that his efforts this year to raise £1000 can go in some way to support the work of the BPA.

Matthew quotes: “It goes without saying that endurance events take a lot of time for training and a lot of effort to achieve, and I wouldn’t have achieved any of these results without the loving support of my family and in particular my beautiful wife, Kristina, who constantly ensures that I stick to my training plan and is always on hand to patch up my aches and pains.  I couldn’t do it without you, Kris!”

Matthew Binns is completing the following ‘3 Big Ones’ in 2012:
Marathon of the North.        6 May 2012   done at the  Stadium of Light, Sunderland
Epic Swim                              15 July 2012                Ullswater, Cumbria
Vitruvian ½ Ironman           8 September 2012     Rutland Water, Rutland
