Anyone who’s ever seen a tractor run going past their house will remember the colours, honking horns and plumes of smoke (produced by some of the more historic engines), but what they may not fully appreciate is how important these events are for our community.
A recent charity tractor run, organised by local residents Gemma and Simon Chapman, has raised an incredible £5,770 for York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity.
The run paraded through local villages in December, starting at Alne, passing through Tollerton and moving on to finish in Easingwold. The Chapman family organised the event as a way to give back to York Hospital after their son Bertie was cared for on the Children’s Ward.
They rallied local farmers and tractor owners to create a spectacular convoy, bringing some winter cheer to the villages while raising funds for the ward that supported their family.
