A tractor convoy will be held in memory of a five-year-old boy who lost his life to a brain tumour. Charlie Robinson, from Inskip, who died on April 7, had battled multiple brain tumours in his short life, after first being diagnosed with a grade 3 ependymoma at just two years old. His infectious personality, and courage in the face of his diagnosis and treatment, touched his local community, who lined the village streets on April 16, the day of his funeral with many dressed in blue - Charlie’s favourite colour. The Lancashire Tractor Run will be held on May 7 in tribute to him, with local businesses, farmers and truckers will set off at 7pm from Stanley Lodge, Salwick Road, forming ‘Charlie’s Convoy’ on a route through Lancashire – in memory of the “little fighter who loved the outdoors.
