Some £7,000 has been raised for Help for Heroes (H4H) by participants in the Bushey quarter marathon.<\/p>\n
There were 700 runners who took part in the event – which is in its 26th year – and they competed for 60 different trophies, the Watford Observer reports.<\/p>\n
The money was collected by members of the David Lloyd Pacers running club and H4H representative Mark Fairclough was delighted with the final sum.<\/p>\n
He added: "The Pacers told me they hoped to raise as much as possible, but this has exceeded all our expectations and will make a real difference to the lives of injured soldiers."<\/p>\n
Jenny Campbell from the Spire Hospital – which was the main sponsor of the race – said there was a lovely sunny day for the running of the event.<\/p>\n
The money will go towards funding a number of projects that are designed to help military personnel who have been injured while serving their country.<\/p>\n
