June 1, 2025 – From The Hague to Kyiv

MISSION KYIV

A 2,000 km forced march with a backpack to fund PTSD care and medical aid

Every €50 donation moves us 1 km closer to our goal

One Mission 

Supporting Veterans, Raising Awareness

On June 1st, a core team of four Dutch (former) military personnel will begin a 2,000 km speed march from The Hague to Kyiv, covering 120 km per day in a non-stop relay format. Along the route, active and former military personnel from multiple nations will join to symbolize veteran solidarity. In Ukraine, it is mostly civilians who serve. This mission is about standing with them.

Where Your Support Goes:

  • EUR 24.5 K - 1000 pcs of tourniquets (constant vital need)

  • EUR 20 K - medical evacuations: treatment and rehabilitation of Ukrainian veterans in The Netherlands

  • Mental health support of Ukrainians with PTSD

  • Raise awareness about PTSD

  • Your in-kind medical donations are most welcome as well

*The composition of the aid may change depending on the dynamics of fundraising and the needs in Ukraine. However, it will remain within the scope of medical aid and mental health support for Ukrainian servicemen.
A detailed report will be published at the end of the project.
