While most of the headlines surrounding last weekend's Six Nations match between Wales and England revolved around the Welsh taking the tournament title with a comprehensive victory in Cardiff, three men were completing their own epic adventure.<\/p>\n
Chief petty officers Andy Gibbs, Tyrone Stock and Andy Wellen walked from Twickenham in London to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
The Monmouthshire Beacon has told how they raised in excess of £3,000 for the good cause as a result of the walk.<\/p>\n
Rugby bosses gave the men the honour of delivering the match ball to the stadium, giving their journey an added purpose and helping to increase its profile.<\/p>\n
Mr Gibbs said: "We have had a great reception everywhere we have been and we thank people for that. Even to everyone who toots their horn as they drive past, it is a huge moral boost."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
