Having received great care from Milford, it was Joe himself who came up with the idea of organising a fundraising tractor run for the charity in 2017 prior to his passing.
His family, neighbours and friends took up the mantle after his death and organised the Joe Wright memorial run. It has become a fixture on the calendar every year bar Covid.
This year's beneficiaries are Milford and Carebright.
