Help the Heroes Charity was launched in October 2007 to do something practical to help wounded servicemen and women who return from the battle front, in need of recuperation and rehabilitation.
The task set by General Sir Richard Dannatt, who is head of the Army, is to raise £6m to help provide a pool and gym complex, especially for wounded amputees.
The KicKStart Mini Soccer League is already supporting a group of active servicemen from the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, who intend to ride their bicycles 1,000 miles over a 10 day period next spring in support of the charity.
Their target is to raise £10,000 in order that they can purchase equipment which helps to get wounded personnel into the water.
