Soldiers walk miles in blind troops' boots

摘要

Members of 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh drew crowds in North Wales when they trekked 50 miles wearing blindfolds. Thirty personnel from the unit marched from their home barracks in Chester to Llandudno to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by those who lose their sight. They collected more than £1,000 in public donations along the way which will go to Blind Veterans UK - formerly known as St Dunstan's. Organiser Capt Stephen Healey (R Welsh) said: "The charity has given so much help and support to our soldiers over the last few years that we wanted to do our bit and give something back."
