From Nepal's earthquake to Nepal's floods: swimming, running and riding for Sewa UK

Chandni Vora MBE is raising money for Sewa International UK
In memory of Nepal’s lives lost

Swim Serpentine 2026

Nepal Floods: Relief. Rehabilitation. Rebuild. Catastrophic floods and landslides have devastated central Nepal. Sewa UK is funding our partners already on the ground — with immediate relief, then rehabilitation, then long-term rebuilding.

Story

Yesterday 19 September 26 I finished the 2-mile Swim Serpentine (3.59km), completing the London Classics: Pru100 Ride London (2015, 2018), the London Marathon 2024, and now the swim. It was my weakest discipline and my hardest challenge.

My journey with Sewa UK began in 2015, when trustee Harish invited me to join the Sewa Ride London team for Pru100, raising funds after the Nepal earthquake. It was close to my heart: the year before, in 2014, we were in Nepal on the Mount Kailash parikrama. I've supported Sewa UK for 20 years, and they gave me a charity place for the London Marathon in 2024.

The swim wasn't a charity place. I entered it on my own, and I wanted to finish the way I started, by raising funds for Sewa UK once more.

Nepal has been hit by devastating floods, and communities now need long-term infrastructure and rehabilitation. Please help me support the lives lost and rebuild Nepal.

Every pound counts. Thank you. 🙏
