Everest with a sausage roll success!

You may remember last September we gave a shout out to Iain Fuller and his trek to Everest base camp. He was injured in Afghanistan in March 2012 when he was run over by a suicide bomber, breaking both his arms. After recovering to a good extent he has set himself the challenge to climb to Everest base camp all in aid of Help For Heroes. The charity was launched in 2007 and was set up to provide direct and practical support to wounded service personal and their families.

Iain aptly named his trek 'Everest with a sausage roll', and there's a good reason why! He was strolling through Camp Bastion munching on a sausage roll when a suicide bomber hit him. He thinks his survival was partly down to the fact he had his hands up while eating the sausage roll directing the impact straight on to his arms rather than his head or any other major organs.

Ian has now successfully completed his challenged so massive congratulations to him! There's still time to donate too and you can visit Iain's Help For Heroes donation page HERE!
