The goal was 1000 kicks (adults + kids) and 500 kicks (dragons). This event was aimed at raising funds for the state Tae Kwon Do association to buy latest Olympic scoring system and the ATI fundraising for the National championships State Team. To boost fundraising efforts each school also provided a car wash service whereby generous members and parents of ATI improved their ‘wax on, wax off’ skills and cleaned passers by cars for a small fee. Cake stalls were also a big hit and the directors at ATI would like to thank all those who kindly donated baked goods, car cleaning kits and gave up their time to be involved and help, thank you again. By the way we need updated contact details of all our members Please fill in a form with current email, phone numbers and address with your instructors.

Ray sets off on breathtaking adventures with his two brothers each year, and this year is no different. Last year they guided 17 people, normal people like you and I, plus two tonne of equipment, as well as 49 Sherpa’s, guides, cooks and support crew to the top of the world, setting personal records along the way for ascending the highest non-technical ,mountain on the planet, Mera Peak. In 2010 the BEHAN Mera Expedition was the biggest team on the mountain. On their journey they landed at Lukla Airport, one of the most horrendous landing strips in the world and spent a couple of days acclimatising with Everest Climbers, each sharing their stories of adventures and hope. While acclimatising BEHAN Team Leaders took a helicopter lift to have a look at other approaches to other valleys. The Pilot was Sabin Basnyat, a friend of Clint Behan, and Sabin had just performed the highest ever mountain rescue in the world, just that morning, from the side of Everest. During their ascent to the top of the world there was plenty of time for enjoyment and fun and taking in the breath taking scenery as seen by only a few people on our planet today. Ray had taken a Memorabilia Tube, a tube containing personal effects , photos and the life story of his grandfather John Behan, and the guys had mounted it on top of a water fall high up in the Himalayas. A memory planted forever. Ray recalls, ‘as we headed from Base Camp to High Camp, I remember us all standing still for a moment, no sound, nothing, just white, but still warm, and looking out past Everest and there it was ahead of us, the curvature of the earth. We were breathless at the view on front of us. And then we looked up, into and past the stratosphere and we could see into space, see the stars, and it was still day time. People were just dumb struck, there were no words to say, no one spoke’. So later in the year, Ray and his brother Clint Behan, a veteran of Himalayan climbing and trekking, are heading back to Mera Peak (the other brother is dog sledging across Alaska). As Ray put it ‘reaching the top of the world has demonstrated to me that everything I dream of, be it materialism, career, relationship, wealth, whatever, it is all achievable, I just need to break through the revolving door of life first, and Mera has showed me that. Now the world is my oyster, I’m no longer satisfied with sitting back and accepting what life dishes out to me, I’m going to create my own life. All I need to do is to ‘want’ and to focus’ and believe in me’. If you would like to talk to the guys about going along, or if you want to know more, call Ray on 0422 967 602 or email him at ray@aztecproperty.com Climbing experience is not need, as the mountain is non-technical”
