A tractor rally which has been running for 20 years has raised more than £127,000 for charity.

The Pink Ladies Tractor Road Run announced the sum at their annual celebration evening.

This brings the total raised since the event began in 2004 to more than £1,224,150 for Cancer Research UK's breast cancer appeal.

In July, 178 tractors, driven by a bumper number of ladies, travelled a 20-mile route through south Norfolk and north Suffolk.

Organiser Annie Chapman said: “Much to my amazement, we had a stunning number of entries this year.

"I really thought the numbers would drop back as last year was such a special event with the 20th anniversary and the incentive to reach the £1million - which we smashed.

"There were 191 ladies on 178 tractors and of those wonderful ladies, 63 of them were new to the run.

“Thank you to everybody for whatever you have done for this tractor run, none of it would happen without a full team effort.”

Annie was joined at the presentation by Pink Lady Dawn Briggs, who presented the cheque to Sophia France, relationship manager for Norfolk and Suffolk at Cancer Research UK.

Before presenting the cheque, Dawn said: “Thank you to Annie for giving me this honour.

"I’ve driven in the Pink Ladies Tractor Run since 2007 and I’ve always known it was a worthwhile and important cause.

"However, last year it was brought home to me in the worst possible way with my daughter Julie being diagnosed with breast cancer."

Sophia said: "All of the research we do could not happen at all without people like you, every single one of you.

"You should be really proud of yourselves because this is a phenomenal amount of money, thank you so much.”
