Story
50 IFAK Life Saving Medical Packs for Ukraine. Motorcycle Ride
For my 50th year on planet earth, I am riding my motorcycle from Devon, UK to Lviv, Ukraine, aiming to complete the Calais to Ukraine part of the journey, approximately 1066 miles in under 24 hours. Either in Lviv or at the Poland/Ukraine border (circumstances depending) I will pass these vital kits on to a Medical Team for their immediate distribution.
Having already secured 20% of the kits, I still need to fund the remaining kits. The IFAK kits are true lifesavers! The contents include Torniquetes, Israeli Bandages, Vented Chest Seals, Fabric Sheers and specialist products designed to help with catastrophic bleeds. All items come conveniently stored in an Immediate Action Pack worn on the individual and easily accessible. The kits are around £100 each.
I will document the preparation and the journey itself on YouTube.com/@tangopasty so you can come along!

1 year agoDates confirmed! Thank you to all the staff at Nightingale Hospital for my recent op - level of care has been amazing!!!!! Ok, I’m aiming to cross the channel the evening of the 22nd of August and ride to Ukraine on the 23rd. That means handing over the IFAKs on the morning of the 24th August. For added bonus, I’ll be joined on the ride to Calais by Actor Ian Kelsey (hopefully) and have the chance to talk a bit about bikes and the trip.

1 year agoDear all! Had another substantial donation from Riders Motorcycle Bridgwater/Bristol! Plus business in the Crediton and wider Devon/Cornwall area who I will mention and thank during the YouTube ride and on the socials. Really looking forward to setting off and having the time to chat about the ride, what is means and some pre-ride safety checks and advice which it good general advice for all motorcyclists to be fair. Hoping my previous history of working on motorcycles will give that some credence. Thank you all - keep sharing 🙏🏼
