Charity flourishes at Villa style event
A Manx charity says its 2015 annual fashion show in aid of breast cancer sufferers raised more than £17,000 in one night, a record-breaking sum for the event.
This year's Fashion For Life event organised by Isle of Man Breast Care, took place on Friday 23 Oct at the Villa Marina.
A near-capacity crowd and a plethora of corporate sponsorship contributed to the total.
The charity has raised over £70,000 in its six years of shows.
Chairwoman and former sufferer Sharon Maddrell reflected on another year's effort:
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
