A local man is walking around the Isle of Man in memory of his sister.

Neil Allcote is aiming to raise £3,000 after his sister died from a mental health condition and didn't get the help she needed.

He also wants to highlight the plight of the homeless by sleeping rough in ever town along the way.

Neil began his journey from Castletown on Christmas Eve and will finish back there in time for the New Years Dip.

You can donate here, with over £2,800 already raised that will be donated to Isle Listen.
