Sweeting have arranged the concert in a bid to put a dent in their &pound;8,000 fundraising target to help the charity, reports the Leighton Buzzard Observer.<\/p>\n<p>Later this year, they will take part in a ten-day trek along the Inca Trail, heading more than 4,000 metres into the mountains, also for the charity.<\/p>\n<p>They are hoping to edge towards their cash target through a series of events in the build-up to that trek, and the Milton Keynes concert is just the first.<\/p>\n<p>The Rusty Gs will appear alongside Scandinavian rockers Sacramental and English groups Birdey and Death And The Miser at the Kiln Farm pub in Keller Close on Thursday (March 20th).<\/p>\n<p>Ms Baczynski said: &quot;We chose Help for Heroes as we truly believe what they do is amazing, and as someone born missing a limb, I can relate to those affected.&quot;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801704747-ADNFCR\"
