Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

A few months ago I thought it would be a good idea to raise some funds for charity and chose Cancer Research UK and North Devon Hospice. 

I persuaded my good friend Alan Lock to accompany me on a John O' Groats to Lands ds End Tractor Run a trip of around 930 miles!  Many months of planning have been undertaken in renovating my 1967 tractor  which has taken 3 solid weeks of work alone and also  in creating the route, as you can imagine travelling at 15mph can be challenging on many roads in the UK.

We are hoping it will take 2 weeks in total and we are really looking forward to the challenges ahead and raising a lot of money for my chosen charities.

Please support  my challenge by making a donation and any tips on how to avoid getting a numb bum sitting on my tractor for hours on end would be appreciated.

Also to let  you know that I shall be at North Devon Show on Wednesday 5th August by the North Devon Hospice Stand, please come along to see me, it would be much appreciated.  You can also follow my progress by visiting http://www.tractorrun.org.uk

Thank you in anticipation
