Bob Corkish, 93, has reached his target of 100 laps within Southlands Residential Home.

The retired farmer is ’delighted’ to have raised nearly £22,000 for the Friends of Noble’s Hospital through his efforts, having crossed the finish line on Tuesday (May 12).

His daughter, Angie Aire, said that Bob is grateful for everyone’s support throughout his laps, which he began in April. He paid a special thanks to the staff at the Port Erin-based residential home who have ’cheered him on’ while walking with him and keeping a log of his completed laps.

Angie added: ’Bob would like to thank his family, friends and very kind donators for helping him raise this fantastic sum of £21,840 for Friends of Noble’s Hospital in these difficult and unprecedented times.’
