Story

<p>We are running 100km in July and we would&nbsp;love your support.</p> <p>Pete, Andy, Greg and Tom are running Trailwalker on Saturday. Yes, Saturday. Two days from now.&nbsp; Enough time to worry; not enough time to prepare. &nbsp;</p> <p>The event is fairly simple, even for us: 100km along the South Downs as fast as you can.&nbsp; We intend to complete it in 15 hours.&nbsp;</p> <p>We are running to raise money for the Neal Turkington Nepal Project (NTNP).&nbsp; As many of you know our close friend Neal was killed in Afghanistan this time last year.&nbsp; We have decided to remember the stubborn Irishman by supporting what he believed in.&nbsp; Among many other interests, this included international development, education and the Gurkhas.&nbsp;</p> <p>NTNP is building toilets and classrooms for a school in a very poor part of rural Nepal. The school is open to all chlidren but is located close to an area containing many ex-Gurkha families.</p> <p>Professional engineers who studied with Neal have worked with the Gurkha Welfare Trust to select this project.&nbsp; They believe that it will cost &pound;55k to build.&nbsp; As a team, we hope to offer &pound;5k towards this goal.</p> <p>Thank you for any support.</p>
