Welcome to my blog, I'm quite excited really! I am going to be travelling to a country I have only dreamed of visiting, as well as raising money for my favourite charity SENSE. Along the way, Im 'blogging' and will be able to share all my adventures with friends of old and of new!

Here's the basics... 8th May 2009 see's me Shad Everett take on Borneo- The Ultimate Challenge, or is it the 'Early Mid-life Crisis Challenge'? WHO KNOWS... anyway it's signed and sealed now! I've told everyone I've ever locked into my memory, in my facebook account and is blood to me, so there is absolutely no turning back! There will be trekking to the Summit of Gunung (Mount) Kinabalu one of South East Asia's highest mountains, 4095 meters I believe, then there is the cycling bit which I try and block out... 2 days of undulating mountain range cycling approx 90km per day and finally white water rafting down the mighty Padas River! Oh yeah one last thing, the weight loss issue, I said I'd loose 3 stone before I went I'll keep that situ- updated too....Promise!

Its going to be painful on my ass but im sure it's going to be fun, cry with me, support me and if possible PLEASE sponsor me www.justgiving.com/shadeverett

Be back soon x
