PRESS UP CHALLENGE

I am Surendra Kambang from 2 Signal Regiment, and I am undertaking to complete an arduous challenge to raise funds for 3 different but related charities.

The charities are: -

1. The Second Division Museum & Memorial Trust (the Kohima Museum)- Charity Commission registration number - 1177539

2. The Kohima Educational Trust (KET) - Charity Commission registration number – 1188382

3. The Gurkha Welfare Trust - Charity Commission registration number – 1103669

According to google maps, Distance from York to Kohima is 4,999 miles. I am going to complete 4,999 press ups, one press up to represent each mile from York to Kohima in 31 days starting from 1st of June to 1st of July

I will complete this final session at the Kohima Museum in Imphal Barracks, York.

The significance of the 31 days is that the British 2nd Infantry Division took 31 days to move from the South west of India to the North east, advance forward and lift the Siege of Kohima.

The significance of the 4,999 miles is that the 2nd Division was based in York before deploying to India.

Any amount will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
