Story

My name is Kirsten. I am ten years old and I feel very angry at the unfair things happening in Ukraine. I want to raise some money to help the children who are suffering. At 3pm on Saturday 19th March my sister, Eilidh, and I will run into the icy cold sea at Pettycur Beach. Please sponsor me to do so, share this page, and come and join me in the water if you like....? Or just come along to cheer us on! Eilidh will also be selling snacks to raise extra money.

Here is a bit about what is happening in Ukraine.

Ukraine's children are living in fear. They face ever-present danger of being killed, injured or suffering severe emotional distress. The war is forcing children and families to shelter in basements and bomb shelters to escape explosions. They have already lived through eight years of conflict, enduring violence, shelling, and being forced to flee their homes.7.5 million Ukraine children are now in danger. Amid freezing temperatures, power cuts and food shortages, every day is a struggle to survive. Families are forced to flee their homes. They need urgent help accessing water, shelter, and food.
