Our Head of Private Client, Charles Ogilvie, is one of a team of 13 Scottish lawyers attempting to run the distance from Edinburgh to Kyiv (approximately 2698km) during the month of May. Sharing out the distance amongst the team (reasonably fairly) works out at over 200km each.
The team is raising money for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. The UN estimates that over 5 million people have been forced to flee the Ukraine since the conflict began and even more have been internally displaced. The numbers are on a simply extraordinary scale and help is desperately needed.
DEC charities are in Ukraine and neighbouring countries meeting the needs of all refugees and displaced people.
