Memorial Walk Challenge boosts local charities

Staff at Standard Bank Isle of Man took part in a memorial walk challenge for two employees who passed away last year.

Each employee was challenged to walk 10km across a weekend, with 855km covered in total, in memory of Simon Nuttall and Martin Devereau.

They raised £1,877 which was matched by the bank, bringing the total raised to £3,754.

It was then donated to Alzheimer's Society Isle of Man and the Isle of Man Woodland Trust. 

Chris Till, CEO of the Island's branch, says it was overwhelming to see so many staff support either by walking, undertaking their own challenge, or donating to the fundraising.
