A Manx man is completing a series of challenges to raise awareness for a local charity.

Board member at Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man John Whitehouse is taking part in five extraordinary challenges this year, including a 97 mile walk in Scotland and the Parish Walk on the Island.

John explained he is raising money in memory of his daughter Lottie who was stillborn in 2016, and Cruse helped support his two older children through the loss.
