Isle of Man representation at the Special Olympics in China could be in jeopardy unless the team can raise another £20,000.
The overall cost of the trip for the 30 competitors and 12 coaches is £50,000, of which two thirds has already been collected.
Further fundraising events are in the pipeline, but Team Manager Graham Davies is hoping Island businesses and residents will respond to the appeal:
Police 'actively looking' for drink and drug drivers this Christmas
People urged to make alternative arrangements to get home
Fine for man who had to be restrained by five hospital porters
30-year-old told he'd made 'extremely foolish choices'
Today's Manxman sailings delayed
The Steam Packet Company says it's due to an earlier delay from Heysham
MHK questions if reduction in NSC hours goes against Island Plan
Decision made by management due to reduced demand
