Story

Hi everyone. We are Gary, Vicki & Elin Crockford. We have taken over the tractor run for the first year from Mary & Stewart who ran it for the last 2 years. I think you'll all agree they did an amazing job of making it such a huge success. Hopefully we can continue to do so. We have quite a fleet of tractors lined up, all ready to light up the streets and bring some Christmas cheer to all and start the countdown to the final week until Christmas. All we ask is please support us, with what you can as all our drivers put some serious effort into decorating there pride and joys.

We are a farming family on the out skirts of Bramley. We have chosen 2 charity’s to equally split the funds between as they are very close to our hearts.

The first charity we have chosen is the Ileostomy & Internal pouch Association, IA who helped and supported my wife, vicki through the most turbelunt of times being diagnosed at the age of 23 with ulcerative colitis. Vicki never found herself in remission. This ended in emergency surgery to have a total colectomy and a stoma to save her life. 2 years later had an internal pouch formed.

They have also helped my best mate, a close family friend, our daughters ‘uncle’ who in recent months has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and has had a stoma formed. Personally i, Gary am very grateful to this charity for the work and support they have given.

Charity 2 is Simon Says Child Bereavment Charity. These special people offer support to children when loosing a family member far to early at times. Having lost my dad suddenly this year as an adult i know how hard this is to deal with and I find myself still trying to navigate my way through. We as a family can only imagine being a young child facing having to deal to face this alone and have questions unanswered. This is where this charity steps in and offers these young children the support they need and try to help answer any questions they may have.

Please help us support these very special, hugely needed charities. All we ask is that we see some smiles along our way and sulport our charities how you can.
