My first post

Hello
My name is Dave Shires and I have been fortunate enough to have been selected for the Reckitt Benckiser Global challenge 2009.

This challenge is to raise money for Save The Children and involves a trek in the lower Himalayas. I will post more details as and when I receive them.

This blog is to track my progress during the challenge. This includes my training, the money I have collected and any thanks. It will also include my personal thoughts and some pictures I take along my journey.

Over the coming months please check back often and if feeling generous sponsor me on this difficult task.

I will update on a regular basis, so come along and share this amazing adventure with me.
