Athlete also receives message of support from boxer
A Manx athlete aiming to run 19 marathons in as many days has reached his fundraising target with nine days to spare.
Christian Varley's Just Giving page reached its £19,000 target this morning, and has since surpassed the £20,000 mark.
He's so far completed 10 marathons, and is due to finish the challenge next Tuesday.
He's also received a message of support from former world boxing champion Tony Bellew:
