It's a great charity helping soldiers and their families,&quot; stated Mr Pettifer.<\/p>\n<p>His girlfriend Keely Lewis has arranged another walk on the same day that will also look to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>The second walk covers only eight miles so is a better option for those who are not yet confident enough to tackle longer distances.<img decoding=\"async\"
