If you're in Lviv on 30th May, do please join us at ChekaFest where we are partnered with Ira's friends, family & comrades to celebrate & commemorate her life with music, song, exactly as she wished before KIA exactly 2 years ago. Also fundraising for 503rd Marines evac units
Thanks also to the Metalist players who took the time to chat with Mykola and sign his scarf, and the players and staff of both teams who spoke to us afterwards.
Last weekend we took 30+ soldiers and family to the @FCShakhtar v Metalist 1925 game, we had a lot of fans of both clubs. Thanks to the club for the tickets, and the staff at the Arena for looking after us. It was great to witness the Azovstal proposal live in real-time.

Next up for us is a trip to Arena Lviv for @FCShakhtar v Metalist 1925. With many of our group hailing from the east, we're expecting a big group again on Sunday afternoon.

A big day on Saturday, coupled with the March 8th holiday, meant for a smaller group on Sunday - many fragile heads on Sunday 🤣 Nevertheless a few of us did head out for our first alfresco lunch of spring, followed by a trip to @KarpatyLvivFC v Kudrivka.

Not surprisingly, it was a very successful day, and one that will be repeated frequently throughout the spring and the summer. Next one is already being planned...
Last weekend we took a group of soldiers and family for lunch and then on to watch @KarpatyLvivFC v Kolos. Disappointing result, but a good day out. Thanks to Karpaty for the tickets and assistance at the stadium, and to Dan from @UKrainianDA for sponsoring lunch #TCID#FCKL#UPL
