With Thanks...

Nine-year-old Jennifer Stone of Onchan, Isle of Man, was determined to say 'thank you' to members of the Douglas lifeboat crew who rescued her last year when she and her uncle were cut off by the tide when walking along the shoreline.

Jennifer's uncle put her on a rock well above the high water mark and climbed the steep cliff for help. Douglas lifeboat was quickly on the scene and Jennifer was lifted off the rock from the sea.

Jennifer came up with the idea of a sponsored walk, with all her family taking part. This raised £300 and Jennifer was delighted to present it to Coxswain Robert Corran when she, her parents and three sisters, Katy, Linda and Rachel visited the station. Photo Roger Oram.
