United Help Ukraine, with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States, is honored to be the official sponsor of Team Ukraine at the 50th Annual U.S. Marine Corps Marathon. Seven defenders, including active-duty Ukrainian soldiers and wounded veterans arriving directly from the front lines, will compete in the MCM’s 42K race. After crossing the finish line, they will return home to continue defending Ukraine.
