🌟 An Inspiring Encounter with Hari Budha Magar MBE🌟
We were privileged to have the opportunity to meet Hari Budha Magar MBE, the inspirational Nepalese mountaineer and the first double above-knee amputee to climb Mount Everest, during our free blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol SCREENING in Nepali Mela 2026.
Meeting someone who has overcome extraordinary challenges to achieve extraordinary dreams was a truly humbling experience. I also bought his book, Conquering Dreams, for three very personal reasons:
💊 1. A reminder for our EG Pharmacy journey
We have recently started our own EG Pharmacy, and Hari Budha Magar’s story reminds us that every great journey begins with courage and determination. There will always be challenges, but his example inspires us to keep moving forward and to never give up on our dreams.
👧 2. An inspiration for my daughter
I bought the book so my daughter can one day read his story and understand that circumstances do not have to define what we can achieve. I want her to believe that with resilience, hard work and self-belief, even the biggest dreams can become possible.
🇳🇵 3. Pride in Nepal
As someone with a connection to Nepal, meeting Hari Budha Magar was particularly meaningful. His achievements are a source of immense pride and a powerful reminder of the courage, resilience and determination of the Nepali people.
From providing free health screenings in our community to meeting someone who has conquered seemingly impossible challenges, today was a reminder that health, ambition and community can all help us conquer our dreams.
Thank you, Hari Budha Magar MBE for the inspiration. 🙏🇳🇵
Dream big. Stay resilient. Never give up. 💙
