FUNDS from the 10-mile Julie Brew Memorial Walk have been donated to two Manx charities.
A total of £2,640 was raised at this year’s event, in October.
The proceeds have been split between Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation and Motor Neurone Disease Association Isle of Man.
Cheques were presented to the charity by Julie’s sons Owen and Lewis, aged nine and 12, at a presentation held at the Crosby Hotel.
Some 130 walkers took part in the memorial walk, which this year was held in bright sunshine.
The event was the fifth charity 10-mile walk in memory of the popular Peel hairdresser.
Julie ran the Headstart Hair Salon in the town in partnership with Claire Van Renen. She died suddenly in 2008 from a previously undetected heart condition.
Julie’s mother June Quirk said she was delighted with the turnout to the event and described the walk as a ‘great success’.
She thanked everyone who gave their sponsorship to the two charities.
She also thanked Western Athletic Club, and Peel Football Club for the use of the clubhouse.
Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation raises money to enable the heart screening of men and women aged from 14 to 35.
The Motor Neurone Disease Association funds and promotes global research into the disease and provides support for people affected by it.
