FUW Ceredigion organises Tractor Run in aid of BHF Cymru

The Ceredigion branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales has organised a Tractor Run on Sunday September 18, aid of British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru.

The group will be leaving Gwili Jones, Maesyfelin,Lampeter at 11am and travel through Cwmann, up towards Farmers and over the mountains to Llanddewi Brefi. The route will continue across the Teifi Valley to Olmarch and the last leg will go through Llanycrwys and Silian.

The 24 mile round trip will finish back at Gwili Jones, coming to an expected close at 2.30pm.

Entry fee is £10 a tractor and all money raised will go towards British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru.

FUW Ceredigion County Executive Officer Mared Rand Jones said: “I am really excited to get this tractor run on the road and to join in the fight against heart disease. It is for such a good cause and I hope that we will not just raise money for BHF Cymru but also raise awareness of how much of a problem heart disease is across Wales and the whole of the UK.

“Entries are still being taken, so if you fancy taking the tractor out for a spin and help raise money for British Heart Foundation Cymru, give our office a call.”

Tea, coffee and cake will be available before leaving and participants can register for Sunday lunch, which will be served at Lampeter Rugby Club after the run for an extra £10 per person.

BHF Head of Fundraising for Wales & Northern Ireland Paul Davies, said: “Thanks to the support and generosity of the organisations like the FUW, the BHF is able fight for every heart beat in Wales. In Wales 375,000 people fight their daily battles with heart and circulatory condition. FUW’s support allows the British Heart Foundation to invest in life saving medical research in Wales, delivering significant breakthroughs that will help change the lives of millions of people across the UK and globally. Without the support of FUW and others none of this would be possible. Every step we take reduces the devastation that heart disease causes in our communities.”
