Pupils of Ballakermeen High School are trekking on a route taking in Port Soderick towards the NSC looking to raise money for Hospice Isle of Man - specifically Rebecca House.

Those taking on the journey are hoping to raise £10,000 for Rebecca House in total - they've generated just over £2,350 so far.
