performs under the name MCD, released the single When You Come Home on March 12th and has promised all proceeds will go to the good cause, reports the Salisbury Journal.<\/p>\n<p>He explained the song has been written with members of the armed forces in mind, and it is dedicated to all those who have been lost in combat.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Van Rensburg is a singer and rapper from Whitchurch and hopes to make a difference with his music.<\/p>\n<p>A video for the song has been filmed by Troy Juniper and people can search for it on YouTube by typing 'When You Come Home (Help for Heroes)'.<\/p>\n<p>It is
