Two walkers have raised money for charity as a 300km challenge comes to an end today (30 June). 

In aid of Hospice Isle of Man, co-workers Jay Pearson and Kate Ward started with a target to walk 200km each during the month of June. 

Jay says: "By taking part and raising money, we’re helping the hospice continue offering expert, person‑centred care, support families through an incredibly difficult time, and keep vital services free and accessible to those who need them."

They have raised more than £1,300 which will be doubled by the Z Zurich Foundation. 

Jay and Kate told Manx Radio they have exceeded their original target:
