Event raises money for cancer charity
** Must go Saturday - needs to go before noon **
Island supporters of a UK cancer charity will descend on the NSC today (26 Aug) for an event to mark the culmination of their year's fundraising.
More than 850 people in a record 60 teams are taking part in a 24 hour walking relay, in aid of Cancer Research UK.
A family fun day has been organised all afternoon, including themed laps, a Miss Relay competition, bouncy castles, games, stalls - and the chance to take a virtual reality tour of a research laboratory.
The Isle of Man edition of Relay for Life, now in its eighth year, sets off at midday, led by cancer survivors - who will also complete the final lap to round-off the event on Sunday.
Organiser Lynn Evans says the part played by those who've battled the disease is a moving sight:
More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
