Former rugby hero Colin Charvis has signed up to help a military charity and will put a host of servicemen and police personnel through their paces ahead of an upcoming event.<\/p>\n
The 12-man team is to complete a 1,283-mile journey across the UK in aid of Help for Heroes and Charvis has pledged to get them into shape before they tackle the challenge.<\/p>\n
From John O'Groats to Land's End, the group will cycle their way from one end of the UK to the other and row across the Irish Sea twice.<\/p>\n
A £20,000 donation from G4S has provided all the support the team needs and Charvis told the Epson Guardian the firm's backing has been crucial.<\/p>\n
"Without this donation the team would not be able to attempt this incredible challenge, which will be a mammoth test of physical and mental toughness. The team will average more than 100 miles per day," he explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
