Alex, reading your people's history fills my heart with anguish and also a strong sense of determination. We don't really realize what freedom means in the U.S. Can I donate to the race on your link without being there?

On another note you know the Chmerkovskiy brothers who dance on "Dancing With the Stars." Their dad has this organization that I donated quite a bit to as the invasion began. https://baranova27.org

I'm uncertain if they are still sending supplies.

Good luck and praying for this to be a successful fundraiser. ox

Yes! Absolutely, I will be sending everything I gather to the forces aid. The run is just a little additional thing, main thing is the aid.

My nephews have a prosthetic business in PA and has been working on the soldiers. I’m told they want to get fixed to get back and continue their fight for Ukraine 🇺🇦

I hope they know all the people in USA 🇺🇸 that support them so they know they are not alone. Praying for a great turnout for this run!

Truly a country with a rich history. As you've stated multiple times, Russia didn't even exist back when Ukraine was beginning to thrive - and yet Russian propagandists dare to claim that Ukrainians aren't an ethnicity of their own.

As a Belarusian, I can relate to how painful and infuriating it is. Keep fighting for your sovereignty. In Belarus we lost our war four years ago. I hope you win yours.

Alex, thank you for doing this. My wife and I are already supporters of Ukraine. We were very excited to see that they've moved the battle on to Russian soil and are raising the Ukranian flag. Maybe Vladmiir will see this and have a nice litte stroke! (I know that was bad!)
