Story

I am raising funds for The Gurkha Welfare Trust which provides financial, medical and development aid to Gurkha veterans, their families and communities. These men who by their courage and endurance, have made a magnificent contribution, past and present, to our freedom today. We owe them a great debt for their loyal and devoted service in numerous campaigns over many years.

The challenge is to climb the 114 steps, multiple times every day, until the team and I achieve the 8,848 metres. In total 341 ascents will be required.
