Hari wins the Special Recognition Award at The Pride of Britain Awards 2024

Hari’s mission to break down barriers and inspire individuals with disabilities received well-deserved recognition at the Pride of Britain Awards 2024, where he was awarded a Special Recognition Award.

The Pride of Britain Awards is a heartwarming event that highlights the incredible stories of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. It’s a testament to the spirit of the British people and their unwavering commitment to helping others.

Gurkha veteran and GWT Ambassador Hari made history last year as the first double above the knee amputee to summit Everest – shattering the belief that disability limits one’s potential and inspiring others to chase their dreams regardless of their circumstances.

“From Mont Blanc to Kilimanjaro and Everest, his incredible journey continues to inspire, showing that with the right mindset, nothing is impossible 🌍🏔️The Pride of Britain Awards

Hari Commented

“I am delighted and honoured to win the Special Recognition – Pride of Britain Award 2024.

We (persons with disability – POD) can also be a pride of our family, friends, community, nation and the world.

Please join me to change the perception on persons with disability but also inspire others to climb their own mountain and conquer their dream whatever that might be.

This means that “Life is all about adaptation and nothing is impossible.”

Hari recently won the Inspiration Award at the Soldiering on Awards 2024 and is spreading a message of hope and determination.
