It's part of UK-wide campaign raising awareness of suicide
A UK-wide campaign looking to raise awareness around the subject of suicide has got underway at this year's TT races.
Baton of Hope was created by journalist, Mike McCarthy, after he lost his son to suicide in February 2021 and the initiative - which is set to go on a UK tour - is also hoping to encourage more open discussion around the issue.
Rider James Hillier was presented with the Baton of Hope on the TT grid ahead of today's Supersport TT Race 2.
He agrees it's an important cause to get behind:
Classic TT could cost Manx Care and DoI combined extra £150,000
Applications open for Southern 100 Marshals
Drop in MGP/Classic TT/Festival of Motorcycling visitors post-covid
TT legend to continue racing
Tributes paid to Island road racing veteran Des Evans
