Supporting Veterans, Raising Awareness
On June 1, 2025, four active-duty Dutch soldiers and four Ukrainian veterans set off from The Hague to the Ukrainian border on a 2,000-kilometer march.
Mid June, 2025, three Ukrainian veterans will continue the march from the border, running 600 kilometers to Kyiv. Participants will cover 120 kilometers per day, each carrying a 12 kg backpack symbolizing the psychological burden veterans carry.

All funds raised during the march across Ukraine will go toward psychosocial rehabilitation for veterans through the DoLadu Mental Health project.
Funds raised during the European march from The Hague to the Ukrainian border will be allocated to:
• €24,500 — 1,000 CAT tourniquets
• €20,000 — medical evacuations: treatment and rehabilitation of Ukrainian veterans in the Netherlands
• Psychological support for Ukrainians with PTSD — Lisova Pollyanna Center
