On the 27th May 2005, 20 RFU volunteers will be embarking upon an expedition to the base camp of Mount Everest, where they will attempt to break the world record for holding the highest ever game of tag rugby. All the money raised from the expedition will go towards two important and worthwhile charities: SPIRE and Show Racism the Red Card.

SPIRE is the official RFU charity that assists players who have suffered permanent total disability through rugby and is currently supporting the needs of around 115 disabled ex-players.

Show Racism the Red Card (SRTRC) is a charity which aims to combat racism through education and the use of professional sportsmen as role models. Footballers have shown the way by making a stand against racism and now the RFU and players at all levels within the game of rugby are actively involved in the campaign - vigorously supporting the aims of SRTRC.

Objective Internet are delighted to support the team in their efforts and to record these in their travelblogs.
