YOUNG bakers put their skills to the test to help raise money for a cause close to the heart of one of their classmates.
Marown School pupils Emily Christian and Lily Dodd helped make £240.10 by holding a cake sale at their school for the Isle of Man Newspapers/Manx Diabetic Group Pumps 4 Kids campaign.
Pumps 4 Kids is raising money to pay for pump therapy for children with Type 1 diabetes. Pump therapy completely replaces the need for injections.
Emily and Lily decided to support Pumps 4 Kids as their class three classmate Annie Evans was put onto an insulin pump last month.
Fundraising for the campaign continues apace across the island - a recent Airport Fire Station Open Day raised £500 each for Pumps 4 Kids and the Firefighters Charity.
