the Help for Heroes charity is phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>But the latest event to raise funds to go towards helping members of the armed forces who have been injured during battle is something quite different from the norm. <\/p>\n<p>Members of staff from Beverley Ambulance Station in East Yorkshire got together with their families on Saturday (May 1st) to take part in a sponsored bed push, the East Riding Mail reports. <\/p>\n<p>Raising a staggering &pound;2,500 for the charity, event organisers explained that they were overwhelmed by the public&rsquo;s response. <\/p>\n<p>Organiser Adele Dick explained that the Help for Heroes is very close to her heart as she has family members serving in the armed forces. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;We hear on the news about the deaths in Afghanistan but not so much about the injuries, people don&rsquo;t realise how many people are getting injured and coming back without limbs &hellip; this money is going towards their rehabilitation,&quot; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, a group of police officers from Lewisham will soon embark on a 24-kilometre run across the highest peak in the Welsh mountains in the hope of raising &pound;10,000 for the cause. <\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-19762591-ADNFCR\"
