One ride away
After 42 hours of riding, Lachlan Morton reached the Korczowa – Krakovets border crossing in eastern Poland. Along the way, he rode with people through the days and nights and raised more than $229,806 for Ukrainian refugees.
A huge thank you to everyone that has supported the ride, donated and followed along.
A special visitThe day after he completed his ride, Lachlan visited a group of young Ukrainian cyclists who have had to flee their homes and are now being hosted by the Polish Cycling Federation in Spala outside of Warsaw.
How you can keep helping
Lachlan’s fundraiser for GlobalGiving’s Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund is still open and is closing in on $250,000 raised. Head to his fundraiser to make a donation.
Before the start:
“I will set out from Munich, Germany and ride 1,063 kilometers in one push, heading northeast through Czechia and into Poland on the way to my destination, the Korczowa – Krakovets border crossing with Ukraine.
I’m not an overly political person. I’m not an expert in any of this. I’m just trying to do the one thing I know how to do and engage the bike-riding community to help. My idea is to highlight the fact that war is not a far-off problem. Conflicts are a bike ride away, all over the world. That’s the intention behind it, and to try and raise as much money as we can to help out people who have been displaced.”
