A Peel man is quite literally going the extra mile for charity this summer.
Athlete Ben Scott is taking on the Thames Tow Path Challenge.
It's a 184-mile run along the river which has to be done in under 80 hours.
It is also self-supporting, which means he will have to carry everything he needs with him.
Ben is running to raise money for Manx Cancer Help, and believes he will go through nothing compared with people who have the disease.
Researching your Manx family history can be a very interesting and rewarding hobby. Trace your roots in the Isle of Man with our helpful of guide.
