Felinfach Tractor Run Group’s annual event has raised £5,405 for the Chemotherapy Day Unit at Glangwili Hospital and £5,405 for the Chemotherapy Day Unit at Bronglais Hospital.
The Felinfach Tractor Run Group was set up over 10 years ago and is formed by individuals in and around Felinfach, Lampeter in Ceredigion. The group have raised over £80,000 for various charities over the years.
The 10th annual tractor run took place in April 2023. Over 140 tractors took part in the 25-mile round trip, starting in Felinfach and travelling through the local villages.
Aled Williams said: “We chose to donate to the two units as Emyr Hughes, a local resident and friend to various members of the group, has received treatment and care at the Chemotherapy Day Unit at Glangwili Hospital.
“Thank you to all the organisers who worked so hard to make the tractor run a success and everyone who supported. Our next tractor run takes place on 28th April 2024.”
Nicola Llewellyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “The support of our local communities enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in the three counties of Hywel Dda and we are extremely grateful for every donation we receive.”
