Oswestry tractor run raises £17,000 in memory of farmer

Naomi Atkin, CEO of Lingen Davies, said: “A huge thank you to everyone involved in organizing and supporting the event, especially Dave and Sue Roberts who continue to raise funds for the charity at the memory of their son Will.

“Organizing an event of this nature and scale is no small feat and we are extremely grateful to everyone who took part in the tractor run.

“This is a massive event and raising £17,000 is a phenomenal tribute to Will Roberts and his family.”

Speaking about the work the charity does in the community, Ms Atkin said: “As a charity we raise funds to support services for people affected by cancer in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Mid Wales.

“This money will be used to ensure local people can access the best cancer services, equipment and kits locally at the Lingen Davies Cancer Center at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, as well as promoting our program of holistic therapies available to patients living with and beyond in the community. “
