Veteran raising funds for mental health charity 

He will travel to Ben Nevis next

A veteran, who served seven years in Afghanistan, is on the Island aiming to raise funds for a charity that deals with men's mental health.

Andrew Roberts, from England, rode over to the TT with two goals in mind, to encourage people to speak about mental issues and to raise funds for the Betsy Jenny Wellbeing Café who provides free or low cost support to people who need it. 

He told Manx Radio it's important that people understand everyone suffers with mental health:

So far he's raised over £1,000.

After the TT he will be taking on Scotland's highest mountain - Ben Nevis.
