Julia Cardy, a resident of Fredericton, New Brunswick, is embarking on a two-week trek across Prince Edward Island, carrying a flag associated with a Ukrainian battalion. This flag was previously carried by her friend April Huggett during a 700-kilometre journey in Ukraine. Cardy’s purpose in making this walk extends beyond simply carrying a flag; she aims to raise funds for Ukrainian soldiers and bring attention to their stories and experiences amidst the ongoing conflict.
The fundraising initiative gathers support from both local residents and online platforms, as the community engages more with the situation unfolding in Ukraine. Cardy believes that bringing awareness and raising funds is crucial, especially as the conflict continues to evolve. Her journey is expected to foster a stronger connection between the people of Prince Edward Island and those affected by the war in Ukraine.
Cardy’s walk is not only a personal tribute but also a broader call for solidarity with the Ukrainian people. As she traverses the diverse landscapes of Prince Edward Island, she hopes to inspire others to contribute to the cause and educate them about the realities faced by soldiers and civilians in Ukraine.
