Two women from Walsall have been so inspired by the story of a brave soldier they decided to hold a fundraiser to generate a few quid for troops.<\/p>\n
Claire Shakespeare and her marine brother’s girlfriend Hayley Moore were so touched by Tyler Christopher’s story they held a prize draw for the Help the Heroes charity, thisiswalsall.co.uk reports.<\/p>\n
Tyler lost both of his legs while on duty in Afghanistan and the pair were so shocked at the injuries he suffered they contacted local businesses to get some prizes.<\/p>\n
They raised more than £300 and Ms Shakespeare told the news provider that the brave men and women on the frontline and at home deserve it plus much more.<\/p>\n
"My heart goes out to all the soldiers. You simply have to respect the job they are doing. Tyler is a legend. He is a typical soldier. He said if you get knocked down, you have got to get up again," she stated.<\/p>\n
The wives and families of troops serving in the RAF Regiment’s 2 Squadron, 15 Squadron and 27 Squadron recently held a cooking competition designed to keep morale up while their fathers and husbands are in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
