If like us you've been watching war unfold in Ukraine with a sense of helplessness, here's a way to make a difference.
August Bicycles have launched Cyclists for Ukraine, a fundraiser in support of the Ukraine Crisis Appeal by British Red Cross.
All donations are welcome and will help support the work of the British Red Cross in Ukraine and other conflict zones.
To donate and be in with a chance of winning an array of unique cycling prizes, visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cyclistsforukraine.
"There are no swell guy prizes on offer here but we can't just sit back in our warm safe house and watch while families are being torn apart by grief in Ukraine," says Amy Buxton of Norwich-based custom bike builders August Bicycles.
"This is a global problem, we all have a duty to help.
"As a community, cyclists are numerous. We don't all get on and we don't have the same disciplines, but we can put all that aside to raise money for what is right. People need help to evacuate to safer countries. Children need to not cower over the bodies of their parents.
"We are fortunate to be in a position to do as much as possible from where we are, so let's all dig deep."
August Bicycles have called on their friends in the industry to donate prizes with a fantastic array of cycling goodies up for grabs.
Everyone who donates £5 or more will be entered into a prize draw at 7pm on 7 March 2022 - one winner will scoop the lot.
Thanks to Colin at AM Bike Co for bringing this great cause to our attention.
The fundraiser is about to smash the £10,000 mark - let's keep it going.
