Painting For Life is part of the fundraising efforts for Relay For Life Isle of Man.

The relay is a community fundraising mission culminating in an inspirational overnight event that honours cancer survivors and celebrates life.

The first ever Isle of Man Relay will take place at the NSC, Douglas, on Sunday at 11am and lasts 24 hours.

On the day teams pitch up at the NSC and keep at least one member walking the track at all times, while all around them a party is in full swing acknowledging the teams fund raising achievements, celebrating with survivors and at dusk honouring lost loved ones with a moving Candle of Hope ceremony.
