To Ukraine in an Ambulance Convoy

In May 2025 I was privileged to volunteer with Medical Lifelines Ukraine ((https://www.medicallifelines.org.uk/), raising over £8,000 and driving in a convoy of donated ambulances from London to Lviv, Ukraine, where we handed them off to mayors and medical directors from five communities in the war-torn East. I then stayed on in Lviv and Kyiv for three weeks.

This is the first of what will be several posts about that experience, the extraodinary people whom I met, and how normal life perseveres in a war in which the aggressor deliberately targets civilians every day.
