Gordon aiming to cycle 1,000 miles and raise £1,000 before 75th birthday

Due to complete charity challenge by August

An Isle of Man resident is aiming to cycle 1,000 miles - and raise £1,000 for Breast Cancer Now - all before his 75th birthday. 

Gordon Drinkwater is more than halfway through his challenge which he’s hoping to complete by August.

"Every mile and every donation will help support the amazing work Breast Cancer Now does for people affected by breast cancer." - Gordon Drinkwater

It's the second time he's raised money for the charity. 

Gordon said: "I did think about taking on Land's End to John o' Groats, which is also around 1,000 miles, but the costs and logistics were a bit too much — so I’ll be completing the miles closer to home instead."

He told Manx Radio he's got a personal connection to the charity:
