A New Forest woman walked more than 65 miles in just two days to raise nearly £3,000 for aid for Ukraine.

Mandy Haynes, head of events at New Forest for Ukraine, completed the Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge in May, walking a huge 106km across the island.

She raised £2,915 in sponsorship which will be put towards humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Mandy was blown away by the support.

"Every pound raised will make a significant difference in helping those in Ukraine."

A significant portion of Mandy's fundraising was contributed by Forest Oak Builders, a small building company based just outside New Milton.

Mandy's fundraising for the New Forest for Ukraine initiative extended to performing a successful abseil down Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower last summer.

John Allison, head of New Forest for Ukraine, praised Mandy's efforts and stressed the ongoing need for aid in Ukraine.
