In this episode we talk to Team BRIT driver Paul Fullick who is chair and trustee of newly formed charity, Ukraine Sunflower Aid.

The charity is doing incredible work to support Ukraine by organising the transportation of crucial aid. Their work has grown from runs of vans carrying donated aid, to meticulously planned HGV journeys taking across valuable medical equipment.

Also on the show is Paul's colleague Hannah Burton who also supports the charity. 

In this episode we catch up with Paul Fullick from Fareham in Southampton.

Paul is a former army officer. He survived a life threatening diving incident which left him with limited walking ability, reduced strength, problems speaking and communicating and forced his early retirement from the Army.
He began working for himself, buying and restoring cars as a qualified mechanic, and taking on incredible charity challenges. 
Paul began riding motorbikes as a teenager and is now the south area representative for the UK Gay Bikers Motorcycle Club. On a touring trip to Wales in 2021, he was involved in an accident which resulted in the loss of his right leg.
He was in hospital for a month and just a week after being discharged was back riding his bike. He was introduced to Team BRIT by charity Blesma and had his race licence within a matter of weeks. He is now signed as a rookie driver and is racing our BMW 118i in the Britcar Trophy Championship.
