Gurkha Welfare Trust Fundraiser

Kanchenjunga Completed - 13/0720

Everest Completed - 09/06/20

During Summer 2021, when I will be in my last year of sixth form, I will be taking part in Global Action's Nepal Annapurna Program.

Nepal is incredibly diverse, from the World Heritage palaces of Kathmandu to the world-famous Annapurna National Park. Whilst in Nepal I will be involved in a poverty reduction project, working with charities and families to build schools, clean water and sanitation systems which will reduce illness and disease and increase school attendance.

Whilst in Nepal, I will also visit the UK Gurkha Welfare Trust and will be making a financial contribution to the trust which supports retired Gurkhas, provides medical camps, disaster relief and healthcare to Gurkha pensioners and supports Gurkha veterans in residential homes.

My aim is to raise at least £800 for The Gurkha Welfare Trust. To do this I will cycle the equivalent height of the 8 mountains in Nepal above 8000 meters, over an 8 month period, starting with Mount Everest. 

I would be extremely grateful for any support you are able to offer and I will post my progress over the coming weeks.
