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

4 days to go, today will be the making of the other side of the flag, can't wait to see this come together, so will be filming it all.
The German TV station, DDR, contacted me yesterday, they would like to interview me and show my journey, on TV, don't like having my picture taken, or being on the radio, don't know what to say as soon as that mike is put in front of me.....and I'm taking a cameraman with me Stephen Pennells, so I wont be saying a word for 3 weeks....no funny comments on that Stu.

The past week has been quite emotional, having had more contact with family members, of our heroes, each have sent me a message for there loved one, to be embroidered onto the flag, I will send them picture of there message when it is complete, and before I leave for Everest.
