Staff sergeant Chris Hare from Bury St Edmunds told the Bury Free Press he and seven other servicemen will climb Mount Everest in their fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n
He said: "Help for Heroes is a great cause and most of us have seen how it can help injured soldiers get through some hard times."<\/p>\n
And it is not just Everest that the group will tackle, as a range of events are planned to raise the £200,000 target.<\/p>\n
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, Hadrian's Wall three-day cycle challenge and the National Three Peaks Challenge are among the activities being tackled by the current and former servicemen.<\/p>\n
A fundraising team from Bristol have also come up with a range of innovative solutions – such as dressing in black-tie outfits and delivering bacon sandwiches – to raise money for the charity, Bristol 24 recently reported.<\/p>\n
