From Kharkiv to Drohobych: Volunteer overcame 1091 km on the bicycle for the help of the Armed Forces (video)
He began his trip to a 10-year-old Bergamont bicycle, which Kharkiv wandefully calls "Swallow", he began on October 1. A man told about the trip on the social network, showing all the stages of the path. Initially, the purpose was to raise UAH 1091000. According to him, it was "fun and painful". "The most important advice: if they say to go 30-50 kilometers a day, then you need to go 30-50 kilometers a day, not 115 kilometers on the first day.
Then your knees are left for 4 days, and you continue to go 100 km. I was interested in The route, I put the pedestrian, it is closer, but everywhere in the forest. At night you come to the woods, I am very afraid of forests, to be honest, you come into the woods at night and think: well, you have no chance, " - said Alexander to journalists. Serdyuk confesses that there were also difficulties, and the place for the night had to look on the road.
Most of all, he did not like forests and wooden bridges. "I was traveling from Okhtyrka and I did not take water . . . and a hop - you go in the field and neither water nor food. Some miracle in 25 kilometers in the field on the off -road saw a tent where the barbecue was sold. I asked for both water and barbecue And all you have, "he remembers. In 16 days the volunteer drove 11 regions and raised 330 thousand hryvnias. Another 50,000 brought a book with an autograph Sergei Zhadan.
"For me, this trip was important, even in that she linked two hometown . . . drove home from home. Kharkiv - hometown, Drohobych - became native. It was felt. It was from Drohobych and from Kharkiv that the largest went from Kharkiv. Support . . . wants this thread between the East and the West to turn into a rope that holds the state and does not divide it.
It is still in the fog, after a trip, when you do not get up in the morning, you do not twist pedals, you do not look for where you are drunk, do not spend the night. You are laying the route and you do not grind the wind or rain. There will be no rest. I go to charity concerts tomorrow. And it is not needed. This trip was the best therapy where I spoke with me, listened to myself and traveled the best country in the world, "he wrote," he wrote Serdyuk after the route.
The man has already planned the money for different crews. The money will go to purchase thermal imagers, warm things and shoes, repair cars, pick up for pickup and much more that Ukrainian defenders need. Alexander decided not to stop and on the page on the social network announced an auction where he intends to play a bicycle. He wants to collect 160 thousand hryvnias on a motor boat for defenders in the Kherson direction.
