A tractor and classic car run is taking place in a farm near Bungay this weekend to raise money for prostate cancer research.  

Each year Harleston Young Farmers chooses a charity to raise money for by organising fundraising events.

The club's decision this year was made to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK.

Henry and Jasmine Utting are organising the event with Harleston Young Farmers.  

The family say they are delighted to welcome everyone to the event at their farm and say the support and generosity shown has been phenomenal.   

Miss Utting, 24, said: “We have been blown away by the support, kind words and donations received, and we are so grateful, we wouldn’t be able to host the event without it.

“Through the event we really want to raise awareness about prostate cancer. 

"We are already aware of many people that have since been and got tested which is really encouraging to hear.”  

The event is taking place at Grove Farm, Vicarage Lane, Mettingham, Bungay NR35 1TE on Sunday, December 18, with people meeting from 9am.  

Guest will enjoy bacon rolls and coffee, with Florenco’s coffee van set to be present before the tractor convoy sets off at 10 am, stopping at The Old Hall Café in Southwold around 11.30 am.

The Harleston Young Farmers have created a JustGiving page which is currently just shy of £700.  

“When we looked into the stats, we were all shocked that one in eight men are affected by prostate cancer in their lifetime and it is the most common cancer in men.  

“£1 could pay to scan a section of prostate cancer tissue.  

“£100 could cover one man’s travel cost to participate in a clinical trial – contributing to the important final steps in bringing a new treatment to men.  

“And £2,000 could allow researchers to buy a drug which has already been developed for another disease, which can be tested in men with prostate cancer.  

“So, any donations we collect do truly mean the world,” Miss Utting said.
