Last month we reported about Ian Douglas from Southsea’s plans to walk around the Isle of Wight with a tumble dryer on his back.
Yes, you read that correctly, with a tumble dryer strapped to his back.
The challenge by the rugby-playing NHS nurse is not just for the fun of it, Ian is hoping to raise at least £5,000 for Charlie’s Beach Hut.
He started the challenge yesterday (Thursday) and has been in awe of the support that he’s had from Islanders as he makes his way around the Island.
Charlie’s Beach Hut
Ian has reached almost half his target of £5,000 for Charlie’s Beach Hut, a charity that provides families of children with life limiting illnesses and families of fire-fighters that have suffered bereavement, or life changing injury whilst in the line of duty, a relaxing environment so they can forge some forever memories, in a hope that they too can ‘Find the Wonderful in Today’.
Ian said he’d particularly like to thank everyone for tooting their horns as they drive past him. The support has helped spur him on.
