On 24th of February 2022 lives of people in Ukraine got turned upside-down as Russia started a full scale invasion. Since then we have seen some of the most horrifying events unfolding. I am Ukrainian, so for me its important to be able to do anything I can to help!
I decided to use my opportunity of running London Marathon on 2nd of October to raise much needed funds for Come Back Alive charity in Ukraine.

Launched in 2014, Come Back Alive became the biggest organization providing support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The donations are used to help in real time, which is needed more than ever!

The statement on their site says:

Our fund supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine through financing purely defence initiatives. Since 2014 we have provided around 1000 thermal imagers and over 250 UAVs. In addition to the material support, we increased technological capabilities of the Army through providing 1,500 tablets with Armor software aimed at stopping the artillery. Come Back Alive also organizes trainings to equip our military with crucial skills. In 2015 we launched trainings for medical workers, artillerists, snipers, minesweepers, and defence analysts. After coming back from the front line, our military members have access to sport rehabilitation and veteran business opportunities. 

Our organization does not use funds for purchasing arms. Our mission is limited to supplying technology, trainings, and accouterments to help save lives of Ukrainians and help our warriors defend Ukraine.

Glory to Ukraine
