Newcastle twins are taking part in a 100-mile cycle ride along Hadrian's Wall cycling path in aid of Ukrainian refugees.
Polish sisters Kasia and Emilia Mickiewicz are both lecturers at Newcastle University - Kasia in Microbiology and Emilia at the Law School - and many of their friends have joined Grupa Transganiczna, a Polish volunteer group transporting supplies and refugees in Ukraine. They are using all their spare time to train for the considerable charitable and physical challenge.
All money raised through the JustGiving page will go to the group, with the pair hoping to provide significant financial support as well as emergency provisions to a cause that has rocked the globe. For Kasia and Emilia, the conflict hits very close to home.
