Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm running the 2025 Budapest Marathon on 11th October for The Britain-Nepal Charitable Trust (BNCT). Although I originally signed up for the marathon as a personal goal, my dad asked me if I would run for the BNCT. The newly formed Trust, which is the charitable arm of The Britain-Nepal Society and supports Nepal through British NGOs working there, is something very personal to my family and me.
For over 30 years, my dad, Colonel Rupert Litherland, served in the 10th Gurkhas, dedicating a large part of his life to Britain–Nepal relations and to Nepal itself. Some of my fondest memories are of spending time with my dad and the Nepalese soldiers he served alongside. Nepal is a wonderful country, full of amazing people, and the relationship between Britain and Nepal is unique and should continue to be fostered.
By aiming to raise £750 and some awareness, I hope to play a small part in supporting the continuation of this fantastic relationship.
