A 1000km Journey of Resilience:

​Honouring Sacrifice & Raising Awareness in 2025

Resilience is not merely about endurance; it is about purpose. In 2025, Major Munish Chauhan will embark on a challenge deeply meaningful to him—one that merges personal growth with a cause close to his heart. Building on his previous successful endeavour of completing 100km in three days and accumulating 3.5 million steps as a team, this new journey will push the limits of physical, emotional, and mental endurance.
The Challenge

• Walking 1000km with a 15kg bergen throughout 2025
• Taking 1.5 million steps (in addition to regular workouts)
• Completing seven British Army 8-Mile Tactical Advance to Battle (TAB) marches every month
• Staying consistent for 52 weeks

However, this journey is not just about testing endurance. It serves a greater purpose—raising awareness of the extraordinary contributions of Commonwealth soldiers during the World Wars, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice without the recognition they deserved.
Why This MattersGrowing up with a profound respect for history and resilience, Major Munish Chauhan believes it is essential to share the stories of those who shaped the world. Through this challenge, he aims to bring attention to inspiring yet often overlooked accounts of Commonwealth soldiers, shedding light on their courage, sacrifices, and contributions.
Supporting the Memorial Gates CharityThis challenge also aims to raise funds for the Memorial Gates Charity, an organisation dedicated to honouring the Commonwealth’s role in shaping shared history. The charity ensures that the sacrifices of Commonwealth soldiers are remembered and recognised for generations to come.

Major Munish Chauhan invites others to join him on sections of the walk, whether it be 1km, 5km, 10km, or 20km, with or without weighted gear. Walks will take place through various military memorials and historic sites, offering a unique opportunity to engage with history in a meaningful way.
If there is sufficient interest, walks can also be arranged in different locations to commemorate local history and honour those who served.

By following along, supporters can gain a deeper appreciation of history and the resilience required to undertake such a feat.
This challenge is not just about remembering the past—it is about using those lessons to build resilience for the future. By taking on this journey, Major Munish Chauhan aims to honour the sacrifices of Commonwealth soldiers while inspiring others to embrace resilience in their own lives.
