A group of Southlanders is about to set off on a two-day, 1200 kilometre road trip on a tractor to raise money for the Southland Charity Hospital.
The hospital is the idea of Southlanders Blair and Melissa Vining.
Vining died in 2019 after a year-long battle with bowel cancer, which he spent campaigning for better cancer care for all New Zealanders.
The Thornbury Vintage Tractor Club's tractor trek leaves Invercargill at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning.
The club's president, Fraser Pearce, spoke to Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown, ahead of the journey.
