According to the North Wales Weekly News, former soldier Neil Grew of Llanfairfechan will be challenging civilians to an eight-mile tab to generate cash for Help the Heroes.<\/p>\n
The charity, which supports injured servicemen and women upon their return from conflict, has been in the headlines recently due to the finalists of The X Factor releasing a single – Heroes – in order to amass the pennies for the organisation.<\/p>\n
But people like Mr Grew are also taking it upon themselves to help out the cause.
It is expected that the walk on December 12th will attract some 20 people – and they have been asked to do it in two hours or less.<\/p>\n
"I am an ex-serviceman and I know the work charities like Help for Heroes do. I don't think the general public has a clear enough idea of the work the services do," he explained.<\/p>\n
