Jethro & Marilou trekking to raise money for Nepal

Aim

We’re embarking on a grueling 26-day, 150-mile trek through the Nepalese Himalayas to raise funds for the Nepal flash floods support

Recent catastrophic flash floods and landslides have devastated communities across central Nepal. Entire villages have been cut off by damaged roads and bridges, leaving thousands of families stranded without food, clean water, or basic shelter.

To support the relief and recovery efforts, we are raising funds for the British Red Cross Society (Registered Charity No. 220949), which directly supports the emergency response of the Nepal Red Cross Society. As the largest local humanitarian network in Nepal, Red Cross teams are already on the ground providing immediate aid and long-term support.

Your donations will directly fund three crucial phases of work:

• Immediate Emergency Relief: Providing emergency food packs, clean drinking water, hygiene kits, and emergency shelter materials to displaced families.
• Health & Medical Care: Deploying first aid teams, water purification systems, and essential medical supplies to flood-affected areas.
• Community Rebuilding: Supporting long-term rehabilitation to help repair damaged homes, water networks, and community infrastructure.

Why This Matters

Nepal holds a deeply special place in our hearts. Having trekked through the Khumbu region in 2024 on the way to Everest Base Camp, we both fell in love with the country, its incredible landscapes, and its warm, welcoming people. Seeing the recent images coming out of Nepal has been heartbreaking and distressing.

For the past year, we have been planning our return to experience Nepal's wonders once more, and reunite with the very same guides who took care of us two years ago.

In October 2026, we set out on a 26-day, 150-mile trek through some of the toughest terrain in the world around the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp.

Some people who knew we were planning this trip have expressed disbelief that we are still going given recent events. However, sustainable tourism is a vital lifeline for the Nepalese economy. Continuing our trek allows us to support local mountain communities and guides directly—helping the country recover from this disaster rather than stepping away.

We felt we simply could not sit back without using our journey to further motivate fundraising for an organization with trusted "boots on the ground" in Nepal.

Every donation, big or small, makes a genuine difference to families in need. Thank you so much for your support!
