Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. The picture shows myself and Graham Urwin Midland Regional President at the launch of the project in front of Birmingham Council House on St Patrick's Day 2008.
I will be raising funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity by joining a team driving four vintage tractors all the way from John O'Groats to Lands End.
According to the RAC Route Planner, its a massive 851.85 miles - at least its down hill all the way! but at an average speed of something not much more than a brisk walk, its just as well. I will be crewing the star of the show, a 1946 David Brown Cropmaster owned and driven by Michael Clancy. Painstakingly restored from a rusty pile of junk to its former glory, it uses TVO (tractor vaporising oil) as its fuel, and can belt along at 14 mph - flat out and with a tail wind.
The Cropmaster will be accompanied by much more modern vehicles, including a 1958 international B450 owned and driven by Geoff Lamb, a 1957 Fordson Major owned and driven by Ian Snape and lastly a 1957 Fordson Dexter owned and driven by Ross King.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Prostate Cancer Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support. Pat McGeever
