Manx Telecom will be raising funds for a mental health charity in memory of a former colleague.

19-year-old Katie Robley was killed in a car crash in Santon last month.

She died as a result of injuries sustained in the two-vehicle crash on the New Castletown Road near the Santon Motel at around 10.30pm on October 25.

Her boyfriend, Jay Waters - who was also involved in the incident - remains in a critical but stable condition.

This weekend Manx Telecom will be celebrating her life and is asking people to donate in-store tomorrow to raise money for REACH - which supports mental health awareness on the Island.
