Congratulations to all members of the Lean Mean Pulling Machine, who spent their August Bank Holiday Monday pulling a Boeing 737, weighing in at 35,000 Kg, a distance of 50 metres at the Dorset Plane Pull. Finishing sixth on the leader board with a time of 37.57 was a great achievement and they raised an incredible amount of £1553 in sponsorship for John's Foundation in the process. We really can't thank them all enough.

Special thanks must go to John who organised this great team.

Pete Thornton, Chairman of the JTYAF, commented, ‘The Plane Pull is one of our favourite events and we were delighted to have the Lean Mean Pulling Machine supporting us this year. We can’t thank them all enough for their support and also the friends and family who have donated so generously. ’

The money the team worked so hard to raise will be used to directly support local young people, providing scholarships and bursaries to fund their training and personal development.
