THREE Salisbury teenagers who embarked on a charity walk to Ukraine have now arrived in Frankfurt in Germany.

James McCarthy-Hill, Kyle Spring and Adam Mitchell first set off from Salisbury Cathedral on June 29 as they set themselves the task of walking the roughly 1,200 mile distance to Lviv in Ukraine.

Their journey, part of the Step2Ukraine campaign, is a grassroots humanitarian effort to raise awareness, support, and vital aid for civilians impacted by the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The team have so far walked roughly 26km a day as they travelled through the UK, France, Belgium, and Germany.

“We’re walking because the people of Ukraine don’t have the option to walk away,” said James. “We want to show them—and the world—that we haven’t forgotten.”

The trip is expected to take 60 days and the groups aims to arrive in Ukraine in in late August.

Once they reach Lviv they will spend a week distributing medical supplies, food, and essential resources to families and children in need.

“We’re just three mates with backpacks and a goal,” said Kyle. “But every donation, every cheer from the roadside—it keeps us moving forward.”

“We want to turn every mile into something meaningful,” Adam said. “Every step is for someone who’s lost a home, a loved one, or a sense of safety.”

Their work is supported by Justin Ukraine Aid, a volunteer-led charity operating on the ground inside Ukraine.

Despite challenging weather and sore feet, the trio have been buoyed by the generosity of strangers and an outpouring of support online.

They’ve raised more than £5,000 and are documenting every step of their journey on Instagram: @step2ukraine.
