£7,000 raised in 24 hours for Peel man killed in Ukraine

An online fundraiser's been launched to repatriate a Manx hero who lost his life defusing mines in Ukraine.

Chris Garrett of Peel died in a frontline area of Ukraine on Tuesday as he was working to disable a Russian explosive.

The charity he helped set up, Prevail Together, says money raised through a new GoFundMe page will be used to bring his body home and help support his partner Courtney and their young daughter.

The fundraiser's already raised more than £7,000 since it launched yesterday.
