Christian Varley prepares for final fundraising run

A Manxman who's raising thousands for a local cause begins the final leg of his gruelling challenge today.

Christian Varley is running 19 marathons in 19 days for the Manx Solidarity Fund, which is providing financial assistance to charities, individuals and businesses hit hard by the COVID-19 outbreak.

So far, Christian's efforts have generated more than £63,000 - smashing his previous target of £19,000.

He'll set off from Peel Castle at 2pm and will be flagged off by Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK - people are being asked not to try and run alongside Christian and instead cheer him on from a safe distance.

You can still donate to his efforts via his JustGiving Page, a link to it is available here.
