Two Royal Marines who were injured in Afghanistan have paddled 125 miles (200km) in 28 hours for charity.

Captain Jon White and Colour Sergeant Lee John Waters from 40 Commando Royal Marines were both badly injured in separate incidents in Afghanistan during Operation HERRICK 12 in the summer of 2010.

Captain White, aged 28, from Honiton in Devon, is a triple amputee following injuries sustained in an improvised explosive device blast in Sangin. The explosion resulted in the loss of both his legs and his right arm at the elbow.
