"I was delighted to be able to help launch this charity run. It's not often you get the chance of a ride on a tractor in the middle of Birmingham!

"This is just the latest in a series of charity fund raising efforts spearheaded by Patrick and his friends, who are doing a fantastic job raising money for The Prostate Cancer Charity. I wish all four drivers good luck for their arduous journey - they will need some good cushions!

"Anyone who wants to sponsor the run should contact Patrick McGeever on 07870 593983."
