Greetings/Namaste,

WO2 Woodhouse and Sgt Suraj Rai will be covering an individual distance between 50 to 100 KM every month throughout the year (Jan - Dec 2024).

Cpl Parash Gurung, Cpl Shaun Chhangte and Sgt Suraj Rai will be running a half marathon charity race on Friday, 4th October in Engham, Surrey.

The main aim of this fundraising is to raise an amount through Returning to Roots (R2R) Initiative in aid of Gurkha Welfare Trust who will build a home for one of the Gurkha Veterans or, their Widows.

The home will be built once sufficient funding has been raised by the team and will be handed over to one of the Gurkha Veterans or, their widows to live their life with dignity.

R2R is an initiative collaborated with the Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT) Charity. The aim of this initiative is to contribute towards building an earthquake resistant home for a Gurkha Veteran who served in the British Army during all conflicts in the past and were not fortunate enough to live in the UK and with no pensions provided. Those veterans are being looked after by the GWT Charity providing them financial, medical and community aids.

Every little contributions, regardless of its size holds immense significance in positively impacting the mission of the R2R Initiative and GWT.

Your support will contribute towards honoring the sacrifices, loyalty and dedication of the Gurkha veterans.
