Three friends to tackle western section of coastal footpath
Three friends are raising money for Hospice Isle of Man today by walking half of the Raad ny Foillan.
Andrew Bridson, Aaron Grist and Kevin Whittaker are setting off from the Point of Ayre at 8.30am and heading down the west coast of the Island, with the aim of making it to The Sound - a distance of around 51 miles.
The trio have set themselves a target of £500 to raise, with donations being taken via a JustGiving page.
Andrew explains why the Hospice was chosen:
Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Warmer than average May for Island
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
