Golf day raises £13k for cancer charity

A charity golf day has raised £13,000 for one of the Islands charities.

Mannin Cancers Support Group is set to benefit from the funds which were generated from the annual event held by Microgaming which saw 18 local businesses take part at Castletown Golf Links.

Vice chairman of the charity, Carole Male, is thanking Microgaming and all those who took part for their support and the money will go towards securing specialist equipment at Noble's Hospital to reduce the need for cancer patients to travel to the UK for treatment.

Mannin Cancers is a new sibling charity of the Manx Breast Cancer Support Group which promotes the relief of person whose lives have been affected by the disease.
