Cyclists complete Island challenge for charity

Seven cyclists recently undertook a six-and-a-half hour journey on the Island all in the name of charity.

Those completed the 70-mile trek, raising more than £1,800 for the Kim Smith Fund - a supporter group for the Brain Tumour Charity.

The Fund was set up in memory of Kim Smith after she passed away following a 16-month battle with brain cancer in 2016. 

Family and friends, all from Cleveleys, Lancashire, now organise and participate in a main annual fundraiser, which this year the Island's Steam Packet supported. 
 
Organiser Karley Smith, daughter of Kim, said: ‘The people of the Island were amazing. We got some great encouragement along the way from motorcyclists passing us and also had generous donations during our stops in Peel, Ramsey, Laxey and Douglas.'
