<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Sri Lankan refugee living in the UK has completed a 120-mile charity walk to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Johannes Shanmugan fled the country of his birth and sought sanctuary in England after war erupted in his nation.<\/p>\n
The Coventry Observer remarked that Mr Shanmugan completed the distance in six days, visiting Milton Keynes, Luton and St Albans along the way.<\/p>\n
His final stop was Downing Street, where he delivered a letter to prime minister David Cameron thanking the government from the Tamil community.<\/p>\n
Mr Shanmugan hopes to raise £10,000 from his adventure and stated his aim is to help "British troops [get] rehabilitated, while also supporting orphaned children still in Sri Lanka".<\/p>\n
Of the walk, he observed it was a "huge thank you to the British public" for the civil liberties offered to his people by the country.<\/p>\n
It comes after the Oxford Mail reported a group of eight civilians completed a 100-mile run to collect cash for the Baton charity.<\/p>\n
