It's part of UK-wide campaign raising awareness of suicide
A UK-wide campaign looking to raise awareness around the subject of suicide has got underway at this year's TT races.
Baton of Hope was created by journalist, Mike McCarthy, after he lost his son to suicide in February 2021 and the initiative - which is set to go on a UK tour - is also hoping to encourage more open discussion around the issue.
Rider James Hillier was presented with the Baton of Hope on the TT grid ahead of today's Supersport TT Race 2.
He agrees it's an important cause to get behind:
Sidecar competitor confident the class will return to the TT in 2027
Ramsey Swing Bridge 'a key line' for businesses
Protecting farmers from impact of climate change 'a no brainer'
Dogs to be allowed on Douglas Beach year-round as part of council trial
