Lee Hatters of Andrew Symons said Ryder’s story had touched everyone’s hearts
Young Ryder’s tractor treat As an early birthday present, Andrew Symons Ltd gave young Ryder a New Holland peddle tractor, and treated him to a seat in the real thing (below and right). It came about after his family appealed for tractor drivers to do a ‘drive by’ in South Molton to celebrate his 2nd birthday in style at the end of July.
Tractor mad Ryder was born with Pierre Robins Syndrome leaving him with additional needs and a multitude of health issues that have seen him on life support twice, with frequent visits to Bristol’s children’s hospital. Following the appeal on social media, he will be picked up from his home in a brand new Massey Ferguson tractor, and driven to M Way & Son on Pathfields Business Park where a special display of tractors has been organised by Ashley Sanders. It’s due to happen around midday on July 31st His mum Michaela Holland said, “He really is a shining light and our warrior, he’s overcome obstacles that we were told would be impossible.” A GoFundMe page has been set up to help make it a second birthday to remember: gofund.me/0ae40099
