'Magical Christmas' tractor run in Mid Ulster raises almost £11,000 for Little Heroes Charity
A 'Magical Christmas' Tractor Run has raised almost £11,000 for the Little Heroes Charity at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Belfast.
The tractor run left Shamrock Park, Ballinderry, on December 14, and made its way led by Lough Neagh Rescue, through Ballyronan, Magherafelt, Moneymore, and Cookstown before finishing in Coagh.
A cheque for £10,909.84 was recently presented to Little Heroes charity and will fund vital equipment, research, and family support services to enhance care for sick children across Northern Ireland.
The organisers would like to thank all those who helped make the event such a massive success.
They say the tractor run started as an idea and over six weeks later turned "into a dream for young and old."
"We would like to thank Shamrock Park, Ballinderry, The Hub Ballinderry for letting us use their facilities,” said a spokesperson.
"It was a great success with the Santa Tractor team visiting the surrounding areas the following weekend, with Santa meeting all the children.”
