Annual walk raises money and awareness for Down's Syndrome

An annual charity walk on the Isle of Man raising money and awareness for Down's Syndrome has passed the £30,000 milestone.

The fifth Teddy's Trundle took place at the weekend with more than 70 walkers taking part in the 21km walk from Peel to Douglas.

It was started by Charli and Oli Dimelow, who wanted to change perceptions around the condition after the negative experience they had when their son Teddy was born. 

So far this year £3,600 has been raised, which will be split between Positive About Down Syndrome (PADS) and Down Syndrome Isle of Man.
