Isle of Wight College students have already helped load four lorries of donations for Ukraine, that’s almost 80 tonnes of boxes and bags that have been lifted and shifted by our students.
The Military and Public Services Students are now doing a 3,480 mile Fun Run – basically a virtual run to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and back.
They are running 60 miles or riding 120 miles each and have all been tasked to raise £1 per mile or 50p a mile if they ride.
Covering the cost of another truck of donations
The reason for this is so we can raise £3,500 to pay for a truck for MAD-Aid to move much needed donations from the Isle of Wight to the refugees in bordering countries of the Ukraine and beyond.
We hope to achieve this mileage within two weeks (a total of 30 miles a week) which is a really tough ask. Myself, Vykke and Bryan will all be getting involved and covering our own mileage to lead by example.
How to donate
If you are sponsoring an individual, please do not comment with the student’s name, just ask them to let their tutor know you have sponsored them.
You can donate via the Just Giving Website.
