A local charity that funds home hospice services on the Island is launching the next in its series of fundraising walks.

The Diana Princess of Wales Hospice Care at Home Trust's next instalment of its Raad ny Foillan walk is taking place tomorrow, going from Peel to Kirk Michael.

Each leg of the coastal footpath is undertaken on the last Sunday of each month, with 100% of funds going towards providing home hospice services for Isle of Man residents.

Chair of the charity, Jennifer Houghton, frequently takes part in events to raise money for the Trust, the most recent being the Manchester Marathon, where she broke the 60+ Isle of Man marathon record.
