Fundraising for Gurkha Welfare Trust
Story
Thanks to you all for your donations! We took part in the event on Saturday 17 April. There are some photos now attached to this page that give a flavour of the event. It was a long hot day, with some tough moments for all, but we came through it and are delighted to have raised £1000 for the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We have agreed to enter the Black Mountain Marathon - a distinctly hilly 25 mile march around the Black Mountains (eastern end of the Brecon Beacons), taking in 6500 ft of ascent over a series of peaks.
We are raising money for the Gurkha Welfare Trust - an organisation that works to alleviate hardship for Gurkha veterans living in the hills of Nepal. James worked in Nepal with this organisation as part of his last posting in the British Army (11 years ago now!), and it remains a cause that he feels passionately about.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
