PC Andy White from Kirkella NPT said:
“We decided to do this walk in aid of Help the Heroes because we want to show our support to the troops who are fighting on our behalf.
“Help the Heroes raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of our country.
“These ordinary people who do extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
“If you would like to take part in the sponsored walk or show your support, please come down and follow us or throw some coins in our buckets on route.
