Story

We are Pete and Mike and we want to do something to to help the people of Ukraine.

On the 15th April, bound together by our legs, we will  be dragging a 15kg bag over a 50km route. 

So why this challenge? The invasion of Ukraine started on the 24th Feb, 50 days before our challenge date. we will be walking a Km for every day the people of Ukraine have lived in fear and been displaced from their homes.

Binding our legs represents our want to #moveforwardinunity, 

Those being displaced are taking only what they carry, dragging a 15kg weight represents this struggle. 

  Bound together, moving forward in unity, showing solidarity with Ukraine.

£10 could provide essential hygiene supplies for 1person for one month - £50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm - £100 could provide emergency food for 2 families for one month

we are fundraising to support the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Heavy fighting, shelling and air strikes across Ukraine have had devastating consequences. Already, over two million people have fled their homes to escape intense conflict in Ukraine. Leaving behind loved ones, livelihoods and almost everything they own, they need shelter, food, and water. People are losing their homes and lives, essential services like water and healthcare have been hit and temperatures have dropped below zero. Please support my fundraiser to help reach those in urgent need in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. With your help we can support ActionAid and the DEC in scaling up their response and help families to stay warm and protect women and girls. -
