Huge Charity Tractor Run Starts in Wehaston

More than 100 tractors took to the roads of East Suffolk for a charity fundraiser supporting Cardiac Risk in the Young.

More than 100 tractors took part in a charity run across East Suffolk, raising awareness and funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

The event began in Wenhaston and saw a colourful convoy of vintage and modern tractors travel through Holton, Halesworth, Chediston and Cookley before finishing at Walpole Playing Field.

Residents lined sections of the route to cheer on participants, with many turning out to support the fundraising effort and enjoy the spectacle of tractors passing through their communities.

The event was organised in support of Cardiac Risk in the Young, a charity that works to prevent sudden cardiac deaths in young people through awareness, screening and research.

Organisers said they were overwhelmed by the level of support received from both participants and spectators, with more than 100 tractors taking part in the run.

The fundraiser brought together people from across the local farming community and beyond, with tractors of all ages helping to raise the profile of the charity and its work.

A final fundraising total has not yet been announced, but organisers have described the event as a tremendous success and thanked everyone who took part or supported it along the route.
