Telecommunications entrepreneur James Spenceley is on a 2,500 kilometre road trip around Ukraine delivering ambulances, support vehicles and medical supplies.
Airtasker chairman and telecommunications entrepreneur James Spenceley has travelled to his former home of Ukraine to deliver ambulances and support vehicles on a hair-raising 2500-kilometre road trip skirting the front lines of the war-torn country.
“I talked to them and felt like a lot of aid in the world is going to win the war and there’s just so little aid going towards saving people’s lives or helping people who’ve evacuated from occupied areas.” “In a war zone, absolutely,” he said. “But we take as many precautions as possible. Mykolaiv was where I was most worried, hearing really loud bangs and the air-raid sirens all night. I’m worried, but we’re not going within 20 kilometres of the front line and the front lines don’t move that often, so you’d have to be pretty unlucky.
Over the weekend prior, Mr Spenceley said his convoy dropped medical equipment including defibrillators, oxygenators and an ambulance to the Mykolaiv Red Cross.in December 2020 and nominated for a director role at National Australia Bank in October 2021, said Ukraine needed more ambulances due to the war, with his convoy also delivering a four-wheel drive vehicle to reach areas ambulances cannot travel.
