X Factor Finalists - Hero

This is the fantastic single from the X Factor Finalists in aid of the 'Help for Heroes' charity and also the 'Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal'. All proceeds of the single will be donated to these two charities. The single is released on Monday, 27th October 2008. Help For Heroes was the idea of Appeal Chairman Bryn Parry and a group of friends and relations, many of who have connections with serving servicemen and women. Bryn and his wife Emma wanted to do something to help the wounded and came up with the idea of a sponsored bike ride. They mentioned it to some friends who mentioned it to some more friends and suddenly Help For Heroes was born and growing fast. A flurry of visits to various offices led to the campaign being blessed by the head of the army, Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt. The X Factor Finalists are: Austin Drage, Eoghan Quigg Scott Bruton, Laura White, Diana Vickers and Alexandra Burke, Daniel Evans, Rachel Hylton, Ruth Lorenzo, Bad Lashes, Girlband and JLS.
