Cyclists to tackle 100 mile challenge for charity

A group of friends and colleagues will cycle around the Island this weekend as part of a mission to raise money for charity.

A 23-strong team from St Helens, in Merseyside, are doing a 100-mile round trip to raise funds for Willowbrook Hospice in the North West of England.

As part of their challenge they will cover 80 miles on the Isle of Man, with the event taking place from Friday, June 22, to Sunday, June 24.

The Steam Packet Company are supporting their cause by assisting with the cost of their travel to and from the Island.
