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

Can't beleive, I have less than 3 weeks before I go to Everest, just don't feel ready, there is so much left to do, so much kit to still get, need to order my sleeping bag, before the postal strike, was hoping to have that donated..but no reply, but have had some great response, and great donations of kit, been displaying the flag, it looks fantastic, but very sad, it is not quite finished, there is still names to be added and the sponsor side of the flag to be added, the service sheets to print, the list is still endless, with every one I cross off I add another 4 to do, the picture is of the Memorial flag, "IN MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN" to fly on Everest

Glen have you thought about having a look at the Outdoors Clothing & Equipment Companies that sponsor forums in the ARRSE http://www.arrse.co.uk Website? I am sure one of them would help with a sleeping bag donation etc.!
