A book of poetry has been put together by a Castletown woman to raise funds for the UK hospital which twice operated on her spine.
Brenda Brown says she felt the need to give something back to the surgeons and medical staff who treated her, so has written Sounds of the Sea.
Around 800 cases from the Island are referred to the Walton Hospital's specialist neuroscience unit every year.
Mrs Brown says the work it does is very important (audio file attached):
