Island Residents To Swim From Cumbria To IOM

A group of people are taking on a mammoth challenge this summer.

9 Isle of Man residents will be swimming from Cumbria to the Isle of man.

It's all in aid of Balla Africa, a Manx charity which is helping to set up a community centre for aids orphans in South Africa.

That's one of the swimmers, Brett Cullen. He said the swimmers will be doing a relay of 1/2 hour intervals, but there's one thing missing, a support boat.

he said they are desperate need of some help to make the event on the 11th June run smoothly.

Anybody with any suggestions is asked to contact Brett by EMAIL
