Two teenage friends are going to cycle 1,000 miles in order to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Both Daniel Davis and Joshua Foley have family in the armed forces and so they want to do their bit to collect cash for such a worthy cause, the Northants Evening Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n
They have set an initial fundraising target of £1,000, but may well end up getting more than this depending on the generosity of local residents.<\/p>\n
Mr Davis observed: "All our family and friends think what we are doing is fantastic and they are behind us 100 per cent."<\/p>\n
He added the charity is important because it helps "so many people" and they see the initiative as an opportunity to "give something back".<\/p>\n
The two boys have already collected £800 and are therefore well on-course to smash their target, as they still have over 800 miles left to cycle.<\/p>\n
