Teenager takes on the coastal footpath for charity

Raising money for Rebecca House

A thirteen-year-old from Douglas will be taking on the Island's coastal footpath at the end of the month to raise money for children's hospice Rebecca House.

Ballakermeen High School student Jake Hodgson is following in the footsteps of Lord Michael Dobbs, who walked the Raad ny Foillan in aid of Hospice Isle of Man last week.

Jake says the idea came from a quest for a new adventure.

The teenager is raising money for the charity through a Just Giving page Jake-Hodgson8.
