HYDE PARK CHARITY JUMP
M
embers of the Armed Forces will be conducting a series of
BASE jumps from the 308’ building at Hyde Park Barracks. The jump is to raise money for Help for Heroes in Oct 08. The charity provides practical and direct support to Service men and women wounded in service.
Appeal Chairman, Bryn Parry says “It’s about the blokes, our men and women. It’s about Derri, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about
Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It is about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are our heroes. We want to help.”
