"It’s about the 'blokes', our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, 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’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."
Do you know someone who has been in war? That someone might have been injured if not, you have probably heard of some of the thousands of men and woman that risk their lives everyday for us. We want to give help and support to just some of those people that were wounded and their families. We want to help them get back on their feet. Why you may ask? Because we care about the people who fight for us, fight for our way of life, our homes, families and friends. They’re the friends we never get a chance to thank, or meet. They are that dedicated to help us, so why should we be any less helpful? The soldiers that fight for us, fight for justice. They are our Heroes. Help for Heroes raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country. We ask our supporters to “do their bit” to show these extraordinary young men and women that they are cared for by us.
We today hope we will raise your awareness about the problem that is currently happening today about wounded soldiers in conflict. Many family and friends have been affected by the current conflicts and this serious issue is not only local but nationally recognized.
What We Want To Do To Help
We want to give up our spare time to fundraise and donate money to our soldiers at risk and you can do the same. The ‘Help For Heroes’ charity is a huge cause whose aim is to change soldiers’ lives, by raising money for those who are wounded. Every penny raised, through this worthwhile charity, can help a soldier return back to his family.

I feel that I have learnt some more information about our heros at war.
