Mansfield war heroes walk focuses on stress disorder

Charity walkers The walk set off from Crich at 08:00 BST

A group which raises money for wounded soldiers has held its fourth walk between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

The Mansfield Heroes Memorial Fund, which was founded in 2009, has already paid for a £70,000 war memorial in the centre of the town.

This year's event was arranged to raise money for soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder and spread awareness of the condition.

About 70 supporters walked 15 miles (24km) from Crich to Mansfield.
