raised &pound;600 towards its cause.<\/p>\n<p>The Loughborough Echo has told how the academics launched a collection around the campus and sought donations from local businesses in order to achieve the sum.<\/p>\n<p>Local solider Jack Davies was on hand recently to accept the donation, which will be sued to help injured servicemen, on behalf of H4H.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Davies, 22, suffered spinal injuries and had to have his left leg amputated after being involved in an explosion while serving with the Coldstream Guards in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>He was injured in October 2009 in the attack that also killed his comrade Lance Corp James Hill.<\/p>\n<p>The special presentation from the Loughborough students to the former military man took place at Paintball SAS 22 in Markfield and will allow the charity to continue its good work.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801536953-ADNFCR\"
