Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

This will be the 6th Tractor Run in the Holderness area that my cousins, my sister & brother in law & I have organised in memory of Dad - the only man I know who could give you a full run down of why one grey Fergie was hugely different to the one parked next to it (even though they both looked exactly the same!). He busied himself in his spare time restoring and renovating grey Fergies, loved to show them off at local Tractor Fayres and road runs, but passed away in November 2017 at too young an age really, as he was only 72.

Marie Curie helped us enormously as a family in his last few months and we decided to try to give them something back, initially just as a one off in May 2018, but 8 years later, and with Covid knocking everything out of kilter for a couple of years, we've managed to raise over £15,000 over 5 tractor runs for them. But we're not stopping there....we go again on Sunday 3rd May 2026.

Marie Curie themselves say:

Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. Whatever the illness, wherever you are, we’re with you to the end. We bring 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give you at home, in our hospices and over the phone. And we push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system.

Marie Curie is a charity working across the UK and we need your support to do our vital work.
