Armed forces charity Help for Heroes could be set to be boosted by a major donation after a campaign was launched to raise £1 million through a series of walks.<\/p>\n
March for Heroes has been thought up by a PR agency and will see as many as 250 cities and towns all over the UK taking part in a synchronised event on September 3rd.<\/p>\n
Graham Parker from Parker PR explained that the idea came after £4,000 was raised on a cold day in December when a march was held to drum up funds for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
"We have drafted a plan for people to follow when organising a march. Because we have done it all before the template makes it so much simpler," he said.<\/p>\n
Each walk will require a band and ex-service personnel, as well as lots of volunteers to collect money in buckets from attendees.<\/p>\n
Recent homecoming marches have been held in Leeds and Nuneaton to give the public the chance to thank the armed forces for their efforts in defending their country.<\/p>\n
