Izzy Richings (J 15) is forming part of a 14-person team from the University of Bristol who, between them, will be running 2309km – the distance from Bristol to Kyiv in Ukraine.
Shocked and saddened by recent events, Izzy and her friends have decided to raise funds in support of the British Red Cross emergency fund for Ukraine. The money they raise will go towards food, clothing and shelter and anything else needed to help refugees displaced by the conflict.
You can find out more about the challenge, their motivation and the charity they are supporting via their JustGiving page. You can also follow their journey on Instagram (@running4Ukraine)
The OU Charity Fund is always pleased to support fundraising activities, please contact the OU team if you're also raising funds for a valuable cause.
