The Manx Telecom sponsored Parish Walk event will be held on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd June 2019. It’s an 85 mile walking race that takes in all 17 parish churches on the Isle of Man. The first Parish Walk took place as a challenge between neighbours over 100 years ago and was a major event for the early years of the last century. It died out and was revived in 1960 when the modern Parish Walk adopted the route that we now recognise. Since then the race has grown in size and prominence and has become the largest mass-participation sporting event on the Island. It now attracts over 1,500 walkers annually, all of whom hope to become a Parish Walk finisher by completing the course in 24 hours or less.

I am using this event to help a wonderful childrens charity JUMP who provide a professional photography service and Memory Books for children with life limiting health conditions. I hope to raise £1000 which will support 3 of the children they support. Thankyou for your support
