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

The internet was down all day yesterday, what a pain, the 2nd "flag In Memory Of Our Fallen" started being embroidered last night, filmed for 3 hrs, the names of our Heroes, will start to be embroidered on Monday, and I will film it all, this is so emotional, watching the flag being made, both flags will come to Everest with me, and one will return, for the families of our fallen, just need to find some were to house the flag.
now going to start packing for a weekend training in the Baverian Alps...better not rain...last mountain training before I go to Everest.
