Harrogate teenagers to embark on 48 mile walk in aid of Ukraine
Two Harrogate teenagers are set to embark upon a 48 mile walk in two days in an effort to raise money for Ukraine.
Grace Brierley and her friend Elena Dickson, who are both 14, will start the walk by taking on the Knaresborough round on Saturday, July 9.
From there, they will walk the Harrogate ringway on Sunday and will be camping out in between.
Money raised will go towards United 24, an initiative set up by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine, amid the war with Russia.
The charity aims to be a direct source for donations for the country and helps with medical aid, rebuilding and defence.
Grace and Elena have set up a JustGiving page as part of their walk. You can find their page here.
