This Mitsubishi Mirage car has been handed over to a Manx charity ahead of its being presented to the winner of a fundraising tombola.

Tony Fox BEM of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Liver Foundation charity picked up the keys to the car at Mylchreests on Wednesday morning.

He then drove the vehicle over to Birmingham to present it to Josie Briggs, winner of a tombola organised to raise funds for the charity.

Tony, of Union Mills, has raised more than £100,000 for the Liver Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in memory of his wife Ann.

He was awarded the British Empire Medal in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for his charity fundraising over the past 40 years.

Tony was presented with the medal at Government House this month, surrounded by his friends and family as well as a transplant surgeon from Queen Elizabeth Hospital and medical staff from Noble’s. His wife Ann underwent a liver transplant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in April 2014.

In order to thank staff at the hospital for her care, the couple organised a ball at the Empress Hotel in Douglas to raise money for QEHB Charity’s Liver Foundation.

Sadly, Ann was in hospital at the time of the ball and died just a few days later.

Her family have been fundraising for the charity ever since.

It has made possible the purchase of a life-saving machine in the liver department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
