Castletown man's 100 mile walk over Christmas to shine light on poor mental health

45-year-old will sleep rough as he completes Raad Ny Foillan

A Castletown resident is preparing to walk almost 100 miles around the Isle of Man over the festive period to raise awareness of mental health in memory of his sister. 

Neil Allcote will start his seven-day Raad Ny Foillan challenge on Christmas Eve.

The 45-year-old is planning to sleep rough at the end of each day to shine a light on some of the issues people in mental health crisis face.

He’s going to finish on New Year’s Day, in Castletown, with the New Year’s Day Dip and wants to raise money for Isle Listen:
