We’re a team of four, from 249 Gurkha Signal Squadron, taking on the Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for the Gurkha Welfare Trust — a cause that’s very close to our hearts. Over the course of our climb, we’ll be tackling the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales, within 24 hours, pushing ourselves both physically and mentally to support the Gurkha veterans and their families. We're taking this challenge up a notch by carrying 10kg of weight in our dokos, a Nepali wicker basket made of bamboo.

This challenge isn’t just about reaching the summits; it’s about showing our gratitude to those who have given so much through their courage and service. Every step we take, every peak we climb, is for them — to help provide the care, support, and opportunities they deserve.
