Help for Heroes and Afghan Heroes Everest Base Camp Trek

My Adventure

On the 31st October 2009, I set off from my home in Paderborn Germany, to under take the 21 day challenge to "Everest Base Camp" in aide of "Help for Heroes" taking with me a special designed flag, Embroidered with all the names of our "Fallen Heroes" in Afganistan and Iraq, the flag was raised and a small service of Rememberance was held, and the flag was left to fly, at the place the local people call "The place of Memeories" I followed the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to the Base Camp of Everest, the worlds highest mountain

Trekking: up to 9 hours a day, Altitude 2623-5545

My next challenge for 2010, is to have a permanent monument built over looking Everest Base Camp, to honour our Heroes, and to raise as much funds as possible for "Help for Heroes" and " Afghan Heroes" and to fund the building of the monument

The flag material has just arrive, all 16m, for 2 flags to be made, one to go to Everest, the other a copy, not sure at the moment were that will go, waiting for a reply back from Nepal, as to were the flag pole will be permanently place, is it at Base Camp, which is a glazier and unsuitable, as I have been informed, or The Holy Place, which is set a day away from base camp, which we also talked about having a special memorial monument made, and Nepal would update each year, need to find a few sponsors to fund the making of the Documentary by Stephen pennells, the cameraman on the filming of Everest ER
