Tonight's video is a follow up to a video from a couple of weeks ago when Donkey spoke to Jason Sweeney about a tractor run he was organizing in memory of his son Alexander who has sadly passed away. The event was organized to raise money for the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice. Alexander was a big fan of blue tractors so we brought our three blue girls along on the day to show our support. Check it out.

We joined the guys from Extreme Tractor Runs during their stop off at Daisy Lodge, Newcastle. Starting in London and ending in Mayo, the support and donations have been phenomenal. This tractor run is in aid of Cancer Fund for Children. Amazing job to everyone involved and all who have shown support!!

In this one, we recently caught up with Maeve Cassin and Jonny McGuinness about the Road Run they've been organising. It's been set up as a 'Parade of Lights' in memory of Maeve's late husband Laurence and is being used to generate funds for a few local charities close to the family's heart.

The run will take place on Sunday 2nd January leaving from the Man O'War GAA ground at 5pm with registration opening from 3pm.

If you can't make the event, there is an online donations page at the link below:

A couple of weekends ago we took a spin down next Eglish to catch up with W. A. Livingstone & Sons about their annual tractor run which makes a welcome return to the physical realm after last year's successful virtual run.

You can read up on the event, taking place on Tuesday 28th December via the link below!

We managed to catch Helen Patterson from Cancer Fund for Children for a quick chat during the busy day at DJ McKay & Son's Charity Dyno Event and she spoke to us about why events like this are so important to the charity.

As you guys know, we've been promoting DJ McKay & Sons Dyno Day. We had a sit down chat with Maggie about her story, and how it led to James organising this event to support Cancer Fund for Children.

This week we were with James McKay talking about his charity Dyno Day coming up next Saturday 6th November to raise money for Cancer Fund for Children. Put the date in your diary!

Donkey catches up with Gordon from City of Derry Young Farmers about the vintage Fendt 24hr plough and their big charity auction coming up on Saturday 17th at 8pm! All proceeds going for the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland and we cant wait to see what the wee Fendt makes!

City of Derry Young Farmers are running a 'Back to the Future' 24hr ploughing and charity day. Their little 60 year old Fendt Farmer 1Z is going to plough as much as it can in 24hrs before being auctioned off in aid of Air Ambulance Northern Ireland! We couldn't miss the opportunity to help them 'see' it through!
