Marcus Thornton set to travel next week
A local man who is getting ready to drive to the Ukrainian border says he's 'in awe' of the Manx community's response to the ongoing conflict.
Next week Marcus Thornton will leave the Isle of Man with two vans full of aid and, along with some friends, will make the journey to Poland.
After appealing for donations from the public he's collected clothing, medical supplies, toiletries and children's toys.
Cash donations will also be put to good use when they reach Poland.
Marcus told Manx Radio he's been overwhelmed by the response:
Yellow weather warning overnight for ice
MLC calls for 'wider conversation' on how constitutional changes are made
Foodbank 'run off feet' as donations decline
Fire crews respond to 'smoke and chemical smell' in Port St Mary
