Mount Everest · 8 April 2023

Pilgrim Bandits know that adversity, challenges and obstacles serve to strengthen the human spirit. But for some of those we support, just to smile or enjoy the company of others, is an almost insurmountable task. We endeavour to get them to believe in a life worth living again. Through Pilgrim Bandits they push to new limits. They help others. They inspire children and young people by working with schools and care centers. Some say that we are a charity, we say were a charitable force.

Story

Story

In  April 2023 I will be taking on the notoriously challenging trek to Everest base camp, then ice climbing and negotiating the Kumbu ice fall on route to camp 1, in support of  fellow veteran Hari Budha Magar, who served with the Ghurka regiment for 15 years.

The charity and others on the trek, first met Hari some years back in their  recovery stages of Headley Court the military rehabilitation centre, he was also injured while serving in Afghanistan resulting in losing both his legs, he has certainly not let things stop him and now Hari is attempting to be the first double above knee amputee to climb one of the highest mountains in the world.

I will be a part of a group that the Pilgrim Bandits charity are taking consisting of injured and other amputee veterans from the military and blue light services.

This is truly a once in a lifetime trip with other veterans supporting a world's first.
