Story

Hello all,

I am Shreyas Medhe, 7 years old, studying in year 2 Grimsdyke School, Hatch End, Harrow, London, United Kingdom.

With above photo you might think I am a foody, which I am, but I looooove many physical activities and my parents encourage me for the same.

In August 2022, we as family tried trekking Snowdonia, but due to bad weather we just did half the way. Some of you may recognize this pic of one of the trek path for Snowdonia.

I am a regular Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) practitioner. I participate in many of the charitable events arranged by GMUKPT (https://gmukpt.org/past-events) along with my parents.

This year I am going to participate in Ben Nevis Trek with my parents and their friends. I am very much excited to be part of this adventurous journey. As a practice session, we did 17 miles of walking/trekking/hiking on Seven Sisters during last week of May in 6 hours and that was great experience. So much demanding and that thing tested my endurance.

My family wants to help raise money for a special temple in the UK for Gajanan Maharaj. He was a great yogi and teacher from Maharashtra, India, who loved yoga, being strong, and helping people.

Last year my dad participated in Snowdonia trek with the same cause, which inspired me a lot hence I am participating in Ben Nevis (UK's top most peak) trek this year.

Please help us raise a “mountain full of money” for this important cause.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!.

From,

Shreyas Medhe
