In a remarkable display of community spirit, over 170 brilliantly lit tractors and trucks paraded through the picturesque Yorkshire Wolds. This event, now in its fourth year, took place on a Saturday evening, featuring a festive motorcade that wound its way along a 30-mile route through charming local villages, starting from Driffield.
The charity run aims to raise funds for vital blood cancer research and support, having been initiated by Nicola Roper—an inspiring individual who has bravely battled the disease not once but twice. "Each year we host this event, it seems to grow more spectacular, thanks largely to the tremendous dedication of our drivers," she expressed with joy.
This year's fundraising efforts will benefit three significant organizations: Blood Cancer UK, RABI, and The DanKitching35 Foundation, all of which play crucial roles in supporting those affected by blood-related cancers.
