900 mile cycle ride raising money for Ukraine!
Two guys from Sussex are undertaking a new cycling challenge!
On 20th May we begin our attempt to attempt to cycle over 900 miles from the South of France to Dieppe and then back to Lewes via the ferry. We are: Jonathan Gilburt (aged 63) from Newhaven and Vic Ient (aged 78) from Lewes. Whilst we are on our 900+ mile ride we are hoping raising money for medical and other civilian aid to be sent to Ukraine. Please donate £5 or £10 or what you can. We are doing this for two organisations:
Ukrainian Hearts
Based in Lewes in Sussex, they are raising funds to provide cancer treatment for 14-year-old Andrii from Ukraine’s frontline battle zone. They are also raising money for Lviv Regional Children’s hospital Okhmatdyt in Ukraine. The hospital are treating patients with injuries from the bomb shelling as well as providing specialist medical aid which cannot be provided on the front line.
