Over 40k raised last year to help local cancer patients.

The Isle of Man are being urged to help fight cancer in a non stop relay.

The 24 hour 'Relay For Life' at the NSC last year raised over £40,000.

All the money raised has gone directly into helping Manx patients.

Gaynor Haxbey, the organiser said 28 teams already registered but there's still room for plenty more!

The action is happening at the NSC on Saturday 27th August.

Details on how to join in the fun are at the Relay For Life website.
