Man raises thousands in 24-hour kayak challenge

An Island man has completed a gruelling kayaking challenge raising thousands of pounds for a local cause.

Kim Tastagh paddled around the Isle of Man non-stop for 24 hours earlier this week for Isle Listen which works to support people's mental health.

Following his endeavours, Kim has managed to generate just over £2,500 for the organisation, exceeding his original target.

Isle Listen took to social media to confirm his achievements, and says it's 'extremely proud' to have 'outstanding individuals' supporting its cause.
