The friends, who held the ‘Benidorm Bound’ challenge in memory of Rod Haynes last year, raised more than €25,000 to be split between Macmillan Cancer Care and Lindsey Lodge, the hospice who cared for Rod in his final days. The group presented the final cheque to the hospice in January.

The group travelled through six countries in just six days in the challenge last May. After setting off from Winterton in

North Lincolnshire, England, the group biked for six days on Honda C90 motorcycles and camped along the way, before reaching Benidorm.

The group of six men, John Haynes, Lee Baker, Jonny Miller, Steven Joyce, Matthew Joyce and Jez Teasdale undertook the gruelling challenge in memory of John’s father, Rod who passed away in March 2021. As a group, they travelled from the UK to the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Andorra, before reaching Spain.
