Al’s pub crawl in aid of veterans

-

COMEDIAN Al Murray is leading a campaign to help struggling military veterans – by encouragin­g people to take a sponsored walk to their local.

Al, best known for his Pub Landlord character, will be joined by historian James Holland for Walking With The Wounded’s ‘ Walking Home For Christmas’ campaign.

They want people to join in from December 10 to December 20.

Participan­ts can also submit military jokes to be read out on the duo’s podcast, which is called We Have Ways Of Making You Talk.

Al said: “A sponsored walk will help in raising money for ex-military and their families dealing with mental health issues that have been even more challengin­g, with the strange Covid-19 times we find ourselves in.”

More than 1,800 ex-servicemen and women were supported by Walking With The Wounded in 2019.
