Mighty Convoy - Ambulances & 4x4's for Ukraine
Donation protected
In 2022, a good friend of mine, Simon Brake, started a not for profit charitable entity called Mighty Convoy, of which I am a Director. Our mission is to raise funds to buy and deliver second hand ambulances and 4x4's to Ukraine. Each vehicle is also packed with much needed humanitarian aid.
So far there have been 8 convoys, with 24 ambulances and 5 4x4's delivered to the CMAU (Christian Medical Association of Ukraine), who we work in partnership with. See their life saving work here https://www.cmaukraine.com/
I have been involved with all 8 convoys and have personally been a driver on two convoys to deliver vehicles and aid.
Ambulances are important for obvious reasons, but 4x4's are important too, as the ambulances are not able to travel across the rough terrain to get to the casualties. The 4x4's enable medics and aid to quickly get to the sick and injured and transport them back.
We have a 9th convoy planned for the end of November to deliver three 4x4's. I will be leading this trip out to Lviv, and am hoping to raise via this page some additional donations to help fund this trip. 100% of money raised will go toward the purchase of vehicles or the costs associated with delivering vehicles to Ukraine (petrol, ferries, etc.)
The success of Mighty Convoy and its volunteer drivers has created a lot of interest. Here are some Links to news coverage of earlier convoys:
