A grandad battling cancer is on his way to Poland to deliver vital humanitarian aid to Ukrainian refugees - inspired by his seven-year-old granddaughter with a 'heart of gold'.
Ian Andrews, 68, set off with his son Chris, 36, from Heywood in the early hours of this morniing with a van loaded with food, sanitary products, toiletries, toys and water. Ian, a retired black cab driver, reckons the journey to Medyka, on the Poland-Ukraine border will take four days.
"We'll be sleeping in the van, but we will get there," said Ian, of Clitheroe Close. He explained that Chris' daughter, Summer, had been deeply affected by the images on the news of the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine."
