Raising money for charity

Since 2004, ladies from around Great Britain have traveled to Norfolk to take part in an amazing fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness. The Ladies' Tractor Road Run, organised by Annie Chapman has raised over £150,000 over the past 6 years.

Only women are allowed to participate in this annual event (some of them having never driven a tractor before!).

Wendy Green, driving Gawdy Hall's John Deere is one of around 100 women who take part.

A picnic lunch is enjoyed by the participants and their families each year on the Gawdy Hall meadow.

Wendy Green (shown here at the front) teaches at a local school. Each year, the children in her class get involved with making decorations for the John Deere.

The 2010 run had over 100 decorated tractors and 'pink ladies' taking part.
