its annual Party in the Garden in August and all of the donations have now been received, the Suffolk Free Press reports.<\/p>\n<p>BBC Radio Suffolk presenters Lesley Dolphin and Mark Murphy were on hand to give a cheque for the sum to the military charity, which helps injured servicemen and women.<\/p>\n<p>Landlady Tina Braithwaite said: &quot;Nearly everyone knows someone in the army and our customers chose to support Help for Heroes because when the troops get killed, it touches everyone.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>It is the third year in a row the fundraiser has been put on and the hostelry also
