A Harrogate business is backing three men who are embarking on a 15,000 mile trek in aid of Ukraine.
Daniel Patton, 22, Joe Fisher, 23 and Callum Kitson, 22, who are from New Zealand but have Harrogate connections, are driving from Orkney Isles in Scotland to India in a small hatchback car.
The journey forms part of the Mongol Rally, which challenges drivers to take a 1.3 litre vehicle on a trek in aid of charity.
The trio, who call themselves The Kiwis Don't Fly Rally Team, are raising money for the DEC Ukraine appeal.
They stopped at the Royal Pump Room Museum in Harrogate on Tuesday as part of the first phase of their journey.
Ethical Team, a PR company based at the Grosvenor Buildings on Crescent Road, has backed the effort.
Iain Patton, director of Ethical Team, said:
The first leg of their journey will see the trio head from John o’ Groats to Georgia.
After this, they will navigate south on their own from Georgia through Azerbaijan, Iran, and Pakistan to reach their destination in the south of India.
You can donate to the trio at their JustGiving page here.
