Help Mark Getty raise money to support The Olive Branch (Respecting Minds)

Now that the we’ve had a sleep and the engine oils have cooled down again we would like to thank everybody that donated and sponsored us on the 500 mile journey, the support we received was brilliant and most importantly we beat our £5000 money target, we are unsure of our final amount yet due to still receiving donations but we are in preparation on planning a night to hand over the money to The Olive Branch charity with more info to follow on that soon!!

We got lucky with the weather with only a couple of showers and got to do the final leg of the journey and finish in the sunshine, we had a few problems along the way but nothing beat us, from roadside repairs in the middle of the night to repairs in filling stations with a audience telling us we weren’t near wise while trying to put a front axle and sump back into a tractor at 9pm to drive another 80 mile that evening, thanks to the farmer who got us a trolly jack to help us make the repairs needed to continue, thanks to everyone who stopped us and donated along our way, the memories we made in the 3 days definitely won’t be forgotten! Thanks to those who joined in to continue the last leg of our journey in there tractors with us👌🏻
