Their aim is to raise £5,000 for the Olive Branch charity whose aim is to give immediate access to a mental health counselling service for those suffering from mental health issues.
The Olive Branch said: “Please support these men as they take on a serious challenge in their vintage tractors. There will be no luxurious overnight stays, merely fields under the stars! These men are passionate about mental health and deserve great support.”
To help Sammy, Mark, Jonathan, Ian and Mark reach their £5,000 target, donations can be made to their JustGiving page or check out The Big Vintage Tractor Drive Facebook page for more details.
