An ex-soldier has ran six marathons in six days to raise money for the charity Healing The Wounds.<\/p>\n
Richard Payne made his way from North Wales to Swansea's National Waterfront Museum though his endurance race, Wales on Sunday reports.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old noted he adopted a strenuous training programme in order to get himself in shape for the challenge, which included running nine miles a day.<\/p>\n
He was also helped out by his husky dog Blu, who covered around five miles a day with him.<\/p>\n
"I thought long and hard about what charity to support and when I saw the great work that Healing The Wounds was doing I realised they deserved any help I could provide," Mr Payne observed.<\/p>\n
The third sector group seeks to aid armed forces suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n
It is hoping to raise enough money to build a specialist care facility in Wales for current and ex-servicemen and women.<\/p>\n
