Story
⚔️ 🪖 It’s month # 16 since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Many of us abandoned our passions and have been fully dedicated to doing our best at home and at work while volunteering, donating, and supporting to aid Ukraine in resisting the powerful and evil enemy.
🇺🇦 But it’s time to recharge and regain strength to continue our support for Ukraine. This summer, in early July, 7 women from The First Ukrainian Women Expedition (FUWE) project are taking on the challenge to get together despite many obstacles and to find a way again.
This time round the goal is Western Europe’s highest peak, the mighty 🏔️ Mont Blanc (4,807 m) – via three mountains traverse. As always, no guides, just pure teamwork, resource management, planning, training, friendship, and a motivating common goal.
🙏 🚑 We kindly ask for your support by donating to our fundraiser for an ambulance for Ukraine. Every donation makes a difference. Our mentor, Roxanne Litynska, has delivered 6 ambulances to Ukraine herself and nailed all the logistics – from purchase to delivery in the right hands. And always followed by a report.

Mountains are truly my source of strength. We, Ukrainians, need much of that to cope with war. We all hope for a successful mission of both the summit and safe return and for raising funds for the ambulance. We all need small victories to move towards a big main one. – Anna Oleksyn, Team Member
