Christian Varley smashes fundraising target

A Manxman aiming to complete 19 marathons in 19 days has smashed his fundraising target.

Christian Varley aimed to hit £19,000 - but has already surpassed this - with more than  week to spare. 

He's so far completed 10 marathons, and is due to finish the challenge next Tuesday.

Christian’ is raising money for the Manx Solidarity Fund, which was recently formed to provide financial support for local individuals, charities and businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

His incredible achievements to date have also attracted the attention of major sporting stars, some of who have sent in video messages of support.

They include: former Everton FC striker, Tim Cahill; two-time winner of the Ironman World Championship Christian McCormack; and former World Champion boxer Tony Bellew.
