A 24-hour relay marathon held in the Island last month has paid dividends for cancer research.

Sponsored teams from organisations across the Island took part in the event at the NSC, overnight on August 24.

Together they raised nearly £46,000 for Cancer Research UK and with money still coming in, organisers hope to reach their target of £50,000 from the one event.

Relay for Life was sponsored by Island-based online sports betting firm Celton Manx.

Chief Executive Director Bill Mummery says it's a fantastic achievement for a cause close to his heart:
