Gurkhas "shoot hoops" for radio charity
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the British Forces Broadcasting Service's (BFBS) involvement with the UK charity Wireless for the Blind, men from the Queen's Own Gurkha Transport Regiment, of the Hong Kong Logistic Support Regiment, are taking part in a sponsored 24-hour basketball marathon.
At 9 am tomorrow (Saturday), they will join personnel from the Hong Kong Military Service Corps and start "shooting hoops" in the gymnasium at the Prince of Wales Barracks, Central. They hope to have raised a substantial sum for charity by 9 am the following day.
Commanding Officer of the Logistic Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps. Lieutenant Colonel Nigel Lloyd, will start them off on their marathon effort. Also present will be BFBS Programme Director, Rory Higgins.
BFBS has been raising fund for Wireless for the Blind for 50 years during which time the total amount amassed exceeds $10 million, money which has paid for radios and radio cassettes to all UK registered blind people, over eight years of age, who cannot afford a set of their own.
