The sponsored truck pull through Gravesend town centre raised more than £5,000 for the Help for Heroes charity.
A SPONSORED truck pull through a town centre has raised more than £5,000 for a charity which supports soldiers wounded on the front line.
Former soldier John Ball, who was in the Queen’s Regiment, organised the event in Gravesend town centre in aid of Help for Heroes.
The 10.5 tonne truck was pulled by Mr Ball and friends from the Royal School of Engineering from Windmill Street to New Road in less than three minutes.
Window cleaner Mr Ball, aged 42, said: “The town was ram-packed and there was a fantastic response.
“It was quite a task I have to say.
“I thought we needed something to liven up the town and it really brought people in.”
