A Ukrainian refugee is embarking on a 589-mile walk to the United Kingdom’s highest peak Ben Nevis in a bid to raise nearly $120,000.

Sofiia Volovyk, 22, fled Kyiv in March – traveling across five countries over seven weeks and 3,000 miles to reach Swindon, Wiltshire, in southern England, where she now lives.
