Following The Injured

RHFAdmin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:47:45 +0000

Documentary on BBC One.

Documentary following the journey of two injured soldiers: 19-year-old Ranger Andy Allen who, in July 2008, had his right leg blown off and his eyes badly burnt by an improvised explosive device; and 24-year-old Lance Corporal Tom Neathway, who lost three limbs after moving a booby-trapped sandbag.

Hopefully this documentary will raise the public awareness of the injured and often forgotten service men and women returning from active service.

Help For Heroes Funds Raised

Funds Raised

In four weeks of fundraising we have raised over Ten Thousand Pounds for Help For Heroes. We shall continue raising funds for this very worthwhile charity along with raising funds for The Richard Hunt Foundation as well.

The sum of money raised in such a shortwhile is a fantastic effort and shows that people have a respect for our wounded heroes.

The fundraising continues this weekend with a 3 legged dressed as bunnies walk up The Sugar Loaf (Mynydd Pen-y-Fal) . Fee and Rhi being the 3 legged bunny.

Pop along and cheer the girls on. All good luck messages and comments welcome both here and on the www.facebook.com/therichardhuntfoundation.

We also have a forum on the website www.welshwarrior.co.ul/forum

When we created The Richard Hunt Foundation site the following figures were added
113 UK personnel were categorised as Very Seriously Injured from all causes excluding disease.

134 UK personnel were categorised as Seriously Injured from all causes excluding disease.

Since then the following figures are available if you dig deep and search.

122 UK personnel were categorised as Very Seriously Injured from all causes excluding disease.
143 UK personnel were categorised as Seriously Injured from all causes excluding disease.

Thats 9 more very seriously and 9 more seriously injured.
