Veteran completes 250-mile charity walk with broken leg
Paul Vice raised over £8,000 for FORCE Cancer Charity by completing a 250-mile walk despite a fractured bone in his prosthetic limb after previous combat injuries.
- This year, Paul Vice completed a 250-mile walk from Exeter to Manchester to raise funds for FORCE Cancer Charity, with the route passing through towns including Taunton, Bristol, and Crewe.
- Motivated by ongoing leg problems, Vice planned the Exeter-to-Cheshire trek after raising $5,000 earlier this year via the Three Peaks Challenge to support FORCE Cancer Charity.
- After the walk, medical examinations revealed an X-ray fracture in a bone entering his prosthetic socket, and Vice said he fell on his stump six months ago, managing pain with neuropathic drugs.
- FORCE officials said the funds will support free services for thousands in Devon, and Ceri Bastyan praised Vice's effort, noting fundraising challenges.
- Having survived an Afghan explosion with over 400 injuries, Paul previously received the Military Cross and was featured in a documentary before his charity walk.
