'Manxie Dog' completes TT Course challenge

Around £1,800 raised for Rebecca House so far

A man raising money for Rebecca House children's hospice completed his TT Course challenge on Saturday.

Dressed in a dog costume, Jim MacGregor, a geography teacher at St Ninian's High School and dog handler with the Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA), managed an anti-clockwise lap of the course in eight hours fifty minutes.

He set off from the TT Grandstand in Douglas at 6am yesterday and was backed up by a socially-distanced support crew.

Jim has raised around £1,800 so far, and donations are still being accepted via a JustGiving page.
