Help for Heroes stands to gain from a charity single that was released recently during a parade through a town centre.<\/p>\n
More than 100 people created a carnival atmosphere in Leek to mark the launch of Do It For Heroes, which was written by musician Chris Bridgett from the Staffordshire town, reports the Stoke Sentinel.<\/p>\n
It is sung by Jumping Jaxxxxx, a band that has been put together specially to record the charity song.<\/p>\n
London-based record label Turning Worm has released the tune and it was launched at the public event last Friday (November 29th).<\/p>\n
Helen Fox, 48, of Leek, has a son serving in the army and she said of the record: "The song is wonderful … we had the parade with everyone carrying glow sticks, which was led by the band of the 5th Leek St Mary's Scouts and Guides."<\/p>\n
She explained the song is not only about the current conflict in Afghanistan, as it covers every battle that has ever taken place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
