A man will be attempting to swim the entirety of the Island's coast in aid of two local charities.
On Monday, August 12 Mike Davis will embark upon the challenge in support of Manx Wildlife Trust and the Blue Marine Foundation.
The swim - which will cover between 80 and 100 miles will take Mike more than 20 days to complete.
MWT CEO, Tim Graham Said: 'Mike’s challenge really helps to highlight our link with the sea and why we must safeguard it for future generations.'
