Tue, 05 Oct 2021

A family have launched a Go-Fund Me page to try and raise funds to get a biker home who died in a road traffic accident on the Isle of Man.

56-year-old Paul Cowell died after his motorbike was involved in a collision near Guthrie's Memorial.

Paul's family are now trying to help raise fund to cover the costs of repatriation and funeral arrangements.

Step-daughter Demi Ramshaw, 22, told LancsLive: "It's an awful story. Paul had re-united with his dad who he hasn't seen for 35 years for the first time and then ten minutes later he sadly lost his life.

"He'd Facetime'd his two sons to meet their grandad for the first time and then he left to do one last lap to visit where his mum's ashes had been spread close to Mountain Road."

The family have received over £3000 in donations with a target set of £6000.
