Relay For Life Isle of Man is asking schools, businesses and buildings to turn purple next Friday for charity.

Purple Day aims to raise awareness and money for Cancer Research UK, as well as celebrate cancer survivors.

Anyone can get involved by having a dress down day, cake sale, or decorating your shop window.

Debbie Williamson, Event Chair for the Relay for Life, says she hopes it will be a really special celebration of hope and awareness in the fight against this horrible disease.
