More Information (3FM is not responsible for external websites)
Join us for an evening celebrating 30+ years of incredible work by Pahar Trust Nepal and the generosity of the Isle of Man.
The evening will start with delicious Indian/Nepalese food prepared by Kurries and Steaks, served in the beautiful wood-panelled Barrovian Hall, followed by an inspirational talk from Hari Budha Magar, MBE.
Hari held various roles while serving with the Royal Gurkha Rifles. During his tour in Afghanistan in 2010, he lost both of his legs above the knee to an IED. He is now an inspirational speaker who has worked tirelessly to transform perceptions of what is possible for people with a disability. He joined forces successfully with other mountaineers and disability organisations to overturn a ban on disabled climbers ascending Everest. On 19th May 2023, he reached the summit of Everest, becoming the first double above-the-knee amputee to do so. Through this achievement, Hari aims to inspire people to climb their own ‘mountains’, no matter what adversity stands in their way.
Hear Hari Budha Magar’s story for the first time in person on the Isle of Man.
Dress Code: Smart Casual
Special guests include:
His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man: Lieutenant General Sir John Lorimer KCB MBE and Lady Lorimer MBE
