Six Nations walk ‘to raise money for Help for Heroes’

Three sailors from the Royal Navy will do their bit for Help for Heroes before next weekend's Six Nations match between England and Wales.

Chief petty officers Andy Gibbs, Robert Brown and James Cameron-Wood will carry the official match ball from Twickenham to Cardiff ahead of the big match.

Craig Hunter, chairman of Reading Rugby Club, has used a piece for the Reading Post to explain their feat will be in aid of Help for Heroes and supporters are encouraged to back the trio.

They are due in Reading today (March 8th) as they aim to arrive in the Welsh capital ahead of the match in just over a week.

In addition to raising money for the military charity, the match itself is a huge one for England, as it could prove to be the final step on their road to the grand slam, having already won their first three matches.
