stripped off for the Village Life calendar, which aims to raise money for Help for Heroes, the Western Gazette reports.<\/p>\n<p>One of the participants, 60-year-old Malcolm Brown, posed with his lawnmower for the month of May 2012 and is one of the organisers.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We've sold 50 calendars already and if we can sell all 300 we will raise &pound;3,000 for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I just love this charity,&quot; Mr Brown said.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 28 men joined forced for the project, with local shopkeepers, builders, decorators and footballers posing to fill the pages.<\/p>\n<p>Help for Heroes was set up in 2007 and has now raised &pound;102.3 million to help soldiers injured in the line of duty, with rehabilitation work and recreational activities among the successful schemes run by the charity.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800613448-ADNFCR\"
