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

I will be displaying the flag at Gutersloh NAAFI Max today, not done too bad this week, it's good to see people's reaction, some were unexpected....one guy yesterday, was not happy, with my lot as he put it, meaning Help For Heroes Charity, which was launched during his fund raising, and messed it up, and how it is taking away from other Army charities, he did donate though...but I'm not there for a debate on charities, who deserves what......all charities are worthy causes, I'm wanting us to Remember those who didn't come home, that is why I designed the flag, and will carry it to Everest, in Honour of our Fallen, and to raise the vital funds for our wounded
