Thousands donated in just 48 hours
The man behind Beach Buddies says he's been blown away by the response so far to his appeal for donations to buy a landmark in the north of the Isle of Man.
On Sunday, Bill Dale asked the public for help, as he aims to bid for the Winkie lighthouse at the Point of Ayre, to use as a northern base for the charity.
In the 48 hours since he has had £7,000 pledged, leaving him just £3,000 short of the asking price.
Bill says he wasn't expecting things to happen so quickly, if at all:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
