Trustees from Dorset-based cancer charity Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust were delighted to receive a cheque for £6,000 at the Dorset County Show

The cheque was presented by Chris Cox, owner of Sturminster Newton-based CJ Cox, and colleagues. The company provides agricultural products and is a certified dealer of Valtra Tractors, part of the AGCO brand.

CJ Cox and Valtra (AGCO) have given £100 from every new tractor sale over the last year to Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust.
Chris and Val Cox said: “This has been a fantastic initiative and we are so pleased to have raised such a large amount for the work Ducks & Drakes does in Dorset supporting bowel cancer patients. We’d like to thank our customers for their support and Valtra and AGCO for being part of the fundraising.”
Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust was founded in 2012 to increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, especially in young people. The trust also raises funds to financially support bowel cancer patients and their families and local cancer services.
Charity trustee and local farmer Richard Drake said: “We are very grateful to CJ Cox, Valtra and AGCO and their customers for raising such an incredible amount. This will make a huge difference to the work we do in Dorset and has also helped us raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer among the farming community.”
