A selfless chef battling cancer is set to travel to the Ukrainian border to help feed refugees fleeing the war.
Mark Gibbons, from Dunston in Gateshead, is making plans to travel to Ukraine's border with Poland to cook at a refugee camp for those escaping Russia's invasion. The 46-year-old worked as a chef for nearly 20 years until he was diagnosed with stage 3 follicular lymphoma around three years ago.
Mark, who also has emphysema and a degenerative disease in his spine, needs daily medication to manage his condition. But despite his health battle, the caring chef said he felt compelled to help the people of Ukraine after seeing the devastation caused by the war.
