Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online all going to an extremely worthwhile cause.

In February 2009, we are planning an unsupported (normally treks are supported by sherpas and porters who set up camp, prepare meals and carry the bulk of the kit . We will be completely unsupported, carrying all the kit needed for the duration) 3 week trek to the base camp of Mount Everest and are looking to raise money in aid of the Help For Heroes charity, supporting those injured whilst serving in Britains' Armed Forces.

The majority of the members on the team are in the Army and have completed tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan so this cause is very close to us all. We also have friends currently serving in the countries affected by the conflicts.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Help for Heroes will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Offline donations can be made by contacting Chris Elkins at hwmeverest09@yahoo.com for information. Offline contributors will be recognised on our webpage (see below).

So please, sponsor us now and help us reach our current target!!

Many thanks for your support.
