There was a great turnout for George Haslett's charity tractor run

The auction which was held after the tractor run and the street collections in Claudy and Feeny villages helped to raise £13,000 on the day.

And with personal donations and other donations to the Just Giving page beforehand of £3,000 the overall grand total raised was £16,000.

This was more than double George’s expectations.

During this week there has been more money coming in and George and wife Ashley now have just over £17,000.

All funds raised will be going to Air Ambulance NI and George is planning on handing over the cheque in mid July once everyone has finished giving.

A final total will be announced then.
