Santas on a Bike raises over £26,000

This years Santas On A Bike event has raised over £26,500 for a local cause.

Last Saturday hundreds of riders took to the streets in their festive best on a 28-mile parade around the Island raising money for Rebecca House with hundreds of spectators lining the streets to support the efforts.

Steven Downward, Marketing Executive of Hospice Isle of Man, says the funds will make a 'huge difference' to the charity and that the children at Rebecca House enjoyed the experience.

Telecommunications provider, plan.com, which organised the occasion, has called it a 'phenomenal amount', adding they've 'been blown away by the generosity of the local community'.
