A pair of friends are hoping to travel 1,200 miles to Ukraine to deliver potentially life-saving aid.
Packed with supplies, Stephen Ryder, 69, from Westbury in Wiltshire, and Winkie Fry, from Bruton in Somerset, plan to drive a second-hand ambulance from Dover to Lviv in January.
Working with Mighty Convoy, a volunteer-run UK charity which has already led 18 trips to the country, the pair need to raise £7000 to fund the trip.
Mr Ryder said he decided "to do something" after becoming "fed up with people wringing their hands and saying how terrible the situation in Ukraine was" despite "not taking action".
