Pareen Gurung has taken on a 155-kilometre running challenge throughout October 2026 to raise funds for families affected by the recent devastating floods in Nepal. His initiative aims to provide much-needed support to vulnerable communities while encouraging people to come together for a meaningful cause.
A Personal Challenge for a Meaningful Cause
Following the recent floods that have affected communities across Nepal, Pareen Gurung has launched a fundraising campaign through GoFundMe to support those in need.
As part of his initiative, Pareen has committed to running 5 kilometres every day throughout October, with the goal of completing 155 kilometres over 31 days.
The challenge reflects his determination to make a positive difference and raise awareness of the difficulties faced by families affected by the floods.
Speaking about his motivation, Pareen shared:
"Nepal is not just a country for me but it is a part of who I am. Seeing all the families affected by these devastating floods really affected me and inspired me to help out in any way possible."
His initiative highlights the strong connection between the Nepalese diaspora and their homeland, particularly during times of crisis.
Supporting Families Affected by the Floods
The recent floods in Nepal have caused significant damage to homes, infrastructure and livelihoods, leaving affected communities in need of urgent assistance.
Through his fundraising campaign, Pareen hopes to contribute towards relief efforts and help families facing difficult circumstances.
By combining a personal fitness challenge with charitable fundraising, he is also encouraging others to take part in supporting the recovery of affected communities.
Pareen has emphasised that every contribution, regardless of its size, can make a difference to those in need.
155 Kilometres Over 31 Days
Pareen's challenge runs from 1 to 31 October 2026, with a target of completing 5 kilometres each day.
The campaign aims not only to raise funds but also to bring greater attention to the ongoing needs of flood-affected families in Nepal.
Throughout the month, his dedication serves as a reminder that individual efforts can contribute to wider community support.

Pareen is calling on friends, families, the Nepalese community in the UK and supporters worldwide to contribute to his GoFundMe campaign.

A Community United for Nepal
Pareen Gurung's fundraising challenge is another example of the Nepalese community coming together to support those facing hardship back home.
His commitment to running 155 kilometres throughout October demonstrates how personal dedication can be turned into meaningful charitable action.
Nepalese Business Directory recognises and appreciates Pareen Gurung's initiative and encourages the wider community to support his fundraising efforts for Nepal Flood Relief.
