Zumbathon ‘to be held to help H4H’

A zumba marathon is due to be held in March in order to raise money for Help for Heroes (H4H), it has been confirmed.

The Salisbury Journal has told how the Wellington Academy in Tidworth is to host the event, with Heidi Jamrozy leading the organisational efforts.

She is hoping to raise money to support her on a ten-day trek along the Great Wall of China, which in turn will generate funds for the charity.

Ms Jamrozy's brother Daniel Richards is one of the many ex-servicemen in the UK to have been greatly helped by H4H.

Mr Richards had been seriously hurt in a motorbike accident in 2009 that led to him having his right arm and shoulder amputated, before the charity stepped in to offer support.

Zumba expert Caroline Parsons will be on hand on the day to lead the exercises and tickets bought in advance can be snapped up for £9.
