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

please keep checking back for more updates, or if you would like to get involved, and help me fund raise, please contact me at glenblease@yahoo.co.uk

just been to see Doris, and the sample of the flag that she has embroidered, IN MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN, over the tri service badge, it is fantastic, so much work is going into the making of the flags, she is doing such a wonderfull job, and I just can't thank her enough for what she is doing for me, the young school girl she has working with her for 2 weeks work experiance, has just complained to the school, as she doesn't want to leave till she has help finish the flag, as she is proud to be helping put it together, the school has given her another month off so she can help finish it, the help I'm getting here in Germany, is fantastic
