and there were some sick children in there at christmas and i thought it s rubbish and what can we do to make it better? i saw it done on the isle of man a few years ago and i thought we can do it bigger and better over here because there s more tractors and that s what we re doing. a lot of time has gone into it. this has got 4,000 lights on it. this is now the third year olly s organised the convoy and it takes weeks to plan the route and decorate the tractors. each year it raises tens of thousands in donations for alderhey and this time with more tractors than ever taking part, olly has set the biggest target yet. this year i want to raise 100,000 if possible. they want to build a new ward at the children s hospital, so it s to go towards that really and they need to raise three million so if we could raise 100,000, we re a little bit there, aren t we? farmers have come from all around the country to drive the tractors and it takes a bit of skill as i found out. oh my goodness! ooh,
