Local family’s tractor run raises over £5,000 for the Children’s Ward at York Hospital ...

A charity tractor run, organised by Gemma and Simon Chapman, has raised a fantastic £5,770 for York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity.

The tractor run paraded through local villages in December, starting at Alne, passing through Tollerton and moving on to Easingwold. The event saw hundreds of people lining the streets to show their support.

The Chapman family organized the tractor run as a way to give back to York Hospital after their son, Bertie, was cared for in the Children’s Ward. Wanting to show their appreciation, they rallied local farmers and tractor owners to create a spectacular convoy. The event brought some winter cheer to the villages while raising funds for the ward that supported their family.
