Canoeing for 24 hours in aid of Manx Mencap

Expedition Limitless team heading to Mooragh Park

This weekend a group of fundraisers will attempt to canoe continuously for 24 hours around the Mooragh Park lake in Ramsey.

The team are from Expedition Limitless and the challenge is part of efforts to raise £100,000 for Manx Mencap.

They'll start at 10am on Saturday (13 April) and finish at 10am Sunday.

It's a tandem canoe and members of the group will swap every two hours.

But Team Leader Martin Malone, who built the canoe from scratch in his garage, will be on the vessel for the entirety:
