such event Dave Lewis &ndash; who is based at RAF Lyneham in Oxfordshire &ndash; will take part in, the Malvern Gazette reports.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Lewis held a money-raising hike last year and he has set up another one for Saturday September 18th.<\/p>\n<p>He will tackle the Malvern Hills as part of the fundraising event and said he thought &quot;it would be a challenge to walk the length of the Hills&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I then decided it would be fun to invite other people to join me and to raise money,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The route will have two courses this time round, with an easier one starting at Malvern Hills Hotel and a more challenging one getting underway from Bromsberrow &ndash; with both culminating at Rosebank Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Dufton, a student from Keighley, recently took part in a bungee jump for the Help for Heroes organisation, the Telegraph and Argus reports.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Trevor Smith<br><img decoding=\"async\"
