An Island mum from Port Erin has raised hundreds of pounds after taking part in a 100-mile cycling challenge.

Caroline Kneen took part in the Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100 over the weekend and has already generated £700 in aid of Mothers Union Isle of Man.

Mothers Union is an international Christian movement looking to strengthen communities around the globe and help the disadvantaged.

Caroline says she's delighted to have raised the funds for the cause, and is also thanking the Steam Packet Company who assisted her travel to and from the event.
