Story

The Gurkha Welfare Trust ensures that Gurkha veterans, their widows and their wider communities are able to live with dignity in Nepal, through the provision of financial, medical and community aid.

The COVID situation in Nepal is very bad.  Loss of tourist revenues will also hit this beautiful country and its lovely people hard.  The Gurkha Welfare Trust will get the help where it is needed.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this great cause - you all inspired me to keep going when it hurt. Pleased to say I completed the course and finished 36th out of about 150 with a time of 27:55.  The winner did 21:18 - there were some very impressive times! Great event and really well run. 

Namaste!
