Teenager taking on major challenge for charity

An Island teenager is set to take on another big challenge in the name of charity.

Jake Hodgson from Douglas is aiming to take on the task of cycling, running and walking across Ireland, the Isle of Man and the UK in just 12 days, starting on April 2.

The 14-year-old is on a mission to support three causes including raising £15,000 for the Alzheimers Society and a JustGiving page has been set up inviting residents to sponsor him.

Jake has taken on numerous challenges for charitable causes including completing the grueling UK Coast-to-Coast walk last year generating over £15,000 for Rebecca House.
