Aussie PPG: UK - Ukraine

A group of adventurous Australians is set to embark on an extraordinary journey, flying paramotors from the UK to Ukraine. This bold expedition aims to support two charities dedicated to aiding those affected by conflict. One charity focuses on transforming vans into ambulances, and the team plans to donate their support van for this cause.
