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

Been very tierd the last couple of days after the weekend hikes, just had a very emotional meeting with the Padre, going through the Rememberance service, for our Fallen, to be held on Everest, first names were embroidered on the flag last night, will be filming every night till the flag is finished, R.I.P all our Heroes

I really do hope I can get through doing the service with out breaking down, couldn't stop crying with the padre, I was quite an emotional wreck, the words of the service are very powerfull.
