The Ceredigion branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales held a successful 24 mile Tractor Run on Sunday September 18, in aid of British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru, raising £540 for the charity.
The group of 27 tractors left Gwili Jones, Maesyfelin, Lampeter and traveled through Cwmann, and over the mountains to Llanddewi Brefi. The route continued across the Teifi Valley to Olmarch and the last leg went through Llwynygroes and Silian.
FUW Ceredigion County Executive Officer Mared Rand Jones said: “I am very happy with how much money we have managed to raise for our first ever tractor run – everyone enjoyed the route, so we can now build on it for an even bigger event next year!
“It was amazing to see so many people join us in the fight against heart disease. It was for such a good cause and I hope that we managed to raise awareness of how much of a problem heart disease is across Wales and the whole of the UK.
“I would also like to thank all those businesses who have donated prizes for our raffle on the day, all those who have participated in the tractor run and helped to make this event such a success.”
