A charity event held in Droitwich has raised £1,416.55 for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
The Droitwich Half PARAthon took place on Armed Forces Day and saw more than 60 people touring 13 pubs and bars in the town in 13 hours.<\/p>\n
The pub crawl started off in the Pillar of Salt and ended at The Star and Garter later in the day, with members collecting money on their journey.<\/p>\n
It was hoped that the event would raise around £500, but the final total was almost three times that amount.<\/p>\n
The day was such a success and raised such a large amount for the armed forces charity that the group are planning to repeat the event in 2014, according to the Droitwich Standard.<\/p>\n
A team of cyclists led by Rob Grant also recently contributed £9,000 to Help for Heroes after completing a 300-mile journey in France to celebrate the 100th running of the Tour de France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
