Douglas boy completes mega charity trek

A 14-year-old boy from Douglas has completed a mammoth walk for charity, raising thousands of pounds in the process.

Jake Hodgson finished the gruelling UK coast-to-coast walk yesterday evening with his efforts raising over £15,000 for Island charity Rebecca House.

Assisted by a small team, he covered over 200 miles in nine days after travelling by foot from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire.

Those with him took to social media to confirm the victory and are thanking everyone for their support towards his cause.
