Hen & Louie "Run To Kyiv" · 11 March 2022

This fund is to pay for our emergency evacuations in eastern Ukraine close to the frontline. We have bought a minibus & need to fund the ongoing running costs of the vehicle and supporting our volunteer drivers.

Story

The invasion of Ukraine has shocked us all and whilst it is scary, we think that it is much scarier for the Ukrainian families being bombed and having to leave their homes, not knowing where they are going or when they might return. 

We wanted to do something to help them, so we Googled Kyiv and found out that it is 1480 miles from our home town. We decided that we could "run to Kyiv" and raise money to help support the refugees. As long as it takes us to cover that distance, we will record our runs, walks and rides, sharing our updates and pictures with you and raising as much money as we can along the way. We are making our mums run as well to add to our total.

You can help too! 

Please run your own miles and send us pics and screenshots of your Strava and fitness apps, as well as making your donations. Maybe together, we can raise money to support Refugease's incredible work and we can cover the distance to Kyiv AND back. 

Refugease are a brilliant local charity who are already working on the ground in Ukraine's neighbouring countries, delivering aid and letting the people know that we stand with them and that we care.

Lots of love,

Louie and Hen xxx

We focus mainly on helping refugees in transit. We do this by providing frontline evacuations, where conflicts are at their most precarious, and distributing emergency survival aid for refugees on the move. We also work on self-reliance projects, providing formal education for refugee children in Jordan, up-skill adult refugees into employment in the UK and internationally, and build hydroponic farming systems.
