Driving A 4x4 And Medical Aid To Ukraine

Hi everyone – Всім привіт!

My name is Guy and in September I’ll be driving this 2004 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport over to Ukraine alongside around 16 other vehicles, with Cambridge-based charity, Convoy4Ukraine.

A little way over the border, we hand the vehicles over to their new drivers. This is organised by our partner charity, Sunflower Network, who makes sure they go where they’re most needed. Vehicles are used for evacuations, delivering medical supplies, and other humanitarian work (non-military), since they’re able to travel on damaged roads and bad terrain to places that are otherwise hard to access. The rough rule is that every 4x4 saves around 50 lives.

Several people have already generously asked if they can help, so I’ve set up this page to crowdfund for medical equipment and aid requested by our Ukrainian partners – including generators, power banks, tourniquets, field dressings and other vital supplies.

100% of everything donated will go to a good cause. I’ll be paying for my own accommodation and flight home.

Thank you – Щиро дякую!

UPDATE 21/7: Following some extremely generous support the fundraiser has flown past its initial £1,000 target. Every donation can be put to good use (there is, sadly, no lack of need) and so I have raised the amount.

I've been consistently surprised and encouraged by people's willingness to support this cause, at a time when Ukraine seems to be falling out of the news. A HUGE "thank you" to everyone who has participated.
