PC Caswell said: "I serve with the military and understand how important it is to remember and support people who have served before me.
"I know that anything I raise for them will go towards developing services to local Veterans, which I think is even more important these days.
"It has already successfully delivered many projects involving the Armed Forces community, including several aimed at veterans in the criminal justice system.

The challenge has already raised more than £1,000 for the cause but donations can still be made via the gofundme website.
